A powerful survivor’s account of the IRA bomb that killed the author’s 14-year-old twin brother, his grandparents and a family friend, published on the 30th anniversary of the atrocity. Winner of the 2011 Christopher Ewart-Biggs Literary Award, and nominated for the 2009-2010 PEN/JR Ackerley prize.On the August bank holiday weekend in 1979, 14-year-old Timothy Knatchbull went out on a boat trip off the shore of Mullaghmore in County Sligo, Ireland. It was a trip that would cost four lives – and change his own for ever.The IRA bomb that exploded in their boat killed Knatchbull’s grandfather Lord Mountbatten, his grandmother Lady Brabourne, his twin brother Nicholas, and local teenager Paul Maxwell. In telling this story for the first time, Knatchbull is not only revisiting the terrible events he and his family lived through, but also writing an intensely personal account of human triumph over tragedy.For thirty years, Knatchbull has lived with the echoes of that the death of the twin from whom he had been inseparable; the loss of his adored grandparents, whose funerals along with his twin’s he and his parents were too injured to attend; the recovery from physical wounds; and the emotional legacy that proved harder to endure.In From A Clear Blue Sky Timothy Knatchbull delves into his past, present and future, and reveals a story of courage and fortitude as he, his family, and their English and Irish friends dealt with the shocking assassinations and their aftermath. Taking place in Ireland at the height of the Troubles, it gives a compelling insight into that period of Irish history. But more importantly it brings home that although tragedy can strike at any moment, the human spirit is able to recover and evolve over time.This book about truth and reconciliation, unflinching in its detail, asks searching questions about why human beings inflict misery on others, and holds lessons about how we can learn to forgive, to heal and to move on. It will resonate with readers the world over.

English | 2005 | pages: 155 | ISBN: 1593783213 | EPUB | 18,0 mb
Named for County Kerry, the Irish Blue may have derived from some legendary "blue dogs that swam shore from a ship wrecked in Tralee Bay." Sined with romance, the origins of the Kerry Blue Terrier befit this distinctive terrier among terriers. In addition to being a feisty and game earthdog, rugged enough to rid the landscape of rats and badgers, the Kerry is a versatile farm dog, a trainable hunting and herding dog, a confident watchdog and a delightful companion. Although strong-willed, as are all terriers, the Kerry excels in obedience and agility competition and possesses the confidence and panache to make heads turn in the show ring. As a companion, the Kerry Blue Terrier is able to delight dog lovers of every age with his clever and entertaining ways, his unmistakable affection for children and his unflagging devotion to his people. For the right owners, the Kerry makes an upstanding and handsome addition to a loving household.

Civil War Political Generals of the Blue and Grey 50 citizen generals in the first modern war


Free Download Civil War "Political Generals" of the Blue and Grey: 50 citizen generals in the first modern war By Gene Schmiel

When the Civil War began, the North and the South took different approaches to creating their armies. In the Union, General-in-Chief Winfield Scott decided to create what would be called the "U.S. Volunteers." Having experienced difficulties in the Mexican War with volunteers at all levels, Scott did not want to repeat the experience. He reasoned that the war would not last long and that an additional 25,000 men added to the regular army would suffice to do all the fighting. Volunteers could guard the rivers and facilities, but little else. The Confederacy, having benefited from the resignation from the army of hundreds of officers and men, created a unified army from whole cloth. President Jefferson Davis used his military background and experience to form an army almost entirely of volunteers. No formal distinction was made between "regulars" and "volunteers," although the several private military academies of the South, e.g. VMI, as well as West Point, supplied a well-trained military leadership. But West Pointers would be given all major commands. By the end of the war, over 3 million men wore the two uniforms, the Blue and the Grey. Hundreds of those men were general officers, men who had responsibility for commanding thousands of men in combat. The great generals on both sides, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Lee, Longstreet, Johnston, are well known. They were all West Point graduates and professional soldiers. There were also many near-great generals who were not professional soldiers. They were the so-called "Political Generals." But few other than Joshua Chamberlain, Patrick Cleburne, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and John Logan are well-remembered. That is partly due to the fact that few non-West Pointers ever had major commands. Also, the stereotypical image of bumbling "Political Generals" remains strong in Civil War circles. This book will introduce (or re-introduce) the reader to 50 of these "Political Generals," men who did not graduate from West Point. I have chosen 25 from each side and given the reader an introduction to their achievements, successes, and failures. After reading my short essays and following up with the "further reading" I have included with each item, the reader can then make up his own mind about these men., Further, I hope and trust you the reader will gain a fuller understanding of the nature and abilities of the more aptly-named "Citizen-Generals" in the American Civil War.
