The history of Roscommon in the 1912-23 period is one of transition to new political allegiances while retaining old economic desires. Almost wholly dependent on agriculture to fuel the local economy and sustain the county's people, the fight for land was the ever-present backdrop to Roscommon's recent history. By 1912 the organization that had provided leadership in that fight - the Irish Parliamentary Party - was on the cusp of achieving Irish home rule, a measure believed to have the potential to settle the land issue. The need to protect the bill saw thousands in Roscommon join the Irish Volunteers and proclaim their opposition to anti-home rule unionists. The First World War led to the suspension of home rule and a call by Irish MPs for their followers to support the British war effort. However, a combination of increasing wartime prices, inadequate food production, ongoing land issues as well as the toleration of partition by local MPs and the draconian British response to Easter 1916 caused many in Roscommon to reassess their political allegiance. Sensationally, in February 1917, Roscommon elected the first Sinn Fein-backed MP. This proved a decisive step in the demise of the Irish Parliamentary Party and the success of Sinn Fein, which reinvigorated the fight for the land as part of its efforts for a republic. In 1919, Roscommon men took up arms against the British to pursue Sinn Fein aims, only to turn the weapons on one another three years later when conflict over the continued pursuit of the Irish Republic led to civil war. In tracing the history of Roscommon during these years of instability, Burke's careful research has produced a comprehensive and accessible study that illuminates and explains the changes and continuities that defined the period.

This book examines the ideological and socio-political discourses shaping the remembrance and representation of Britain and the Cyprus conflict of 1974 within Greek Cypriot society. By combining the official with the popular and drawing on an extensive range of oral history interviews, this monograph shows that a suspicion born out of Britain’s long (neo-)colonial connection to Cyprus has come to frame the image and understanding of British actions associated with the events, and lasting consequences, of 1974. Indeed, with the island of Cyprus still divided, and the requirement to remember a national imperative, this book has a direct contemporary relevance. However, within the existent literature, while much has been written about the political roots of the Cyprus conflict, no study has yet sought to systematically analyse and understand the influences shaping the history and memory of British actions on Cyprus in 1974. One defined by the existence of 'partitionist' conspiracies, collusive accusations and a series of memory distortions which continue to resonate strongly irrespective of the evidence that is now available. As such, by analysing the influences shaping the image of Britain in 1974, one can begin to understand in ever greater detail the Anglo–Greek Cypriot relationship in a modern context.

Nära döden-upplevelser, Guds löften, och den spännande framtid som väntar dig.Vi vill alla veta hur livet efter döden blir. Pastorn och författaren John Burke är inget undantag. I Upptäck himlen jämför Burke drygt 100 fascinerande berättelser om nära döden-upplevelser med vad Bibeln har att säga om våra vanligaste frågor om himlen:• Kommer jag att vara mig själv?• Får jag träffa nära och kära?• Hur ser himlen ut?• Hur är Gud?• Vad ska vi göra i all evighet?• Hur blir det med barn och husdjur?Under årtionden har Burke studerat vittnesmål från människor som överlevt nära möten med döden och fått med sig upplevelser av både himlen och helvetet. Även om alla detaljer i personliga nära döden-upplevelser inte helt överensstämmer med Bibeln, visar Burke hur upplevelserna som delas av tusentals överlevare – inklusive doktorer, universitetsprofessorer, bankchefer, folk från alla åldrar och kulturer och även blinda – bekräftar den fascinerande beskrivningen av himlen som framställs i Bibeln.Den här spännande resan in i livet efter döden kommer att ge dig en känsla av att du varit där. Den kommer för alltid att förändra sättet du ser på livet efter detta och hur du lever ditt liv idag. Du kommer att upptäcka att himlen är mer fantastisk än vad du någonsin kunnat föreställa dig.Om författarenJohn Burke är pastor i Gateway Church, Austin, Texas.
