SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE’One of the most captivating boxing writers on the planet’Barry McGuigan’Asuperb tale…Hisinspirational storycelebrates peace and reconciliation’ Daily TelegraphMulti-award-winning author Donald McRae’s stunning new book is a powerful tale of hope and redemption across the sectarian divide in Northern Ireland – thanks to boxing.At the height of the Troubles , Gerry Storey ran the Holy Family gym from the IRA’s heartland territory of New Lodge in Belfast . Despite coming from a family steeped in the Republican movement, he insisted that it would be open to all. He ensured that his boxers were given a free pass byparamilitary forces on both Republican and Loyalist sides, so they could find a way out of the province’s desperate situation. In the immediate aftermath of the 1981 Hunger Strikes , Storey would alsovisit the Maze prison twice a weekto train the inmates from each community, separately.In itself, this would be a heroic story, but Storey went further than he became the trainer for world champion Barry McGuigan and Olympian Hugh Russell , who became one of the most famous photographers to document the Troubles. Even with all his success and the support of both sides, Storey still found himself subjected to three bomb attacks from those who were implacably hostile to any form of reconciliation.He also worked with the Protestant boxer Davy Larmour , who fought two bloody battles in the ring against Russell, his Catholic friend. At the same time, in Derry, the British and European lightweight champion Charlie Nash fought without bitterness after his brother was killed and his father was shot on Bloody Sunday – the most infamous day of the conflict.Now, Donald McRae reveals the extraordinary taleof those troubled times .After years of research and intimate interviews with the key characters in this story, he shows us how the violent business of boxing became a haven of peace and hope for these remarkable and compassionate men. In Sunshine or in Shadow is an inspirational story of t riumph over adversity and celebrates the reconciliation that can take place when two fighters meet each other in the ring, rather than outside it.'[An] outstanding and important book, Don McRae’s powerful storytelling shows the courage of the people of the North’ Andy Lee

Free Download How the West Brought War to Ukraine: Understanding How U.S. and NATO Policies Led to Crisis, War, and the Risk of Nuclear Catastrophe by Benjamin Abelow, Larry Wayne
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BM56PJYV | 1 hour and 39 minutes | M4B@127 Kbps | 91 Mb
"A brilliant, remarkably concise explanation of the danger that U.S and NATO military involvement in Ukraine has created. Needs to be read and pondered by every citizen capable of thinking rationally and responsibly about American and European security." (Jack F. Matlock, Jr., U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union, 1987-1991)
According to the mainstream Western narrative, Vladimir Putin is an insatiable, Hitler-like expansionist who invaded Ukraine in an unprovoked land grab. That story is incorrect. In reality, the United States and NATO bear much of the responsibility for the Ukraine crisis. Through a series of misguided policies, Washington and its European allies placed Russia in an untenable situation for which war seemed, to Mr. Putin and his military staff, the only workable solution. In How the West Brought War to Ukraine, author Benjamin Abelow lays out the relevant history and explains how the West needlessly produced conflict, subjecting its own citizens and the rest of the world to the risk of nuclear war.

English | ISBN: 1785318268 | 2021 | 256 pages | EPUB | 10 MB
Ricky Hill grew up beneath the shadow of Wembley Stadium, where he sold programmes at England games as a boy. When he was seven, he was told by a teacher that only two in every hundred boys could possibly make it as a professional footballer. Ricky told her he would be one of the two. Ten years later, this gifted midfielder scored on his debut for Luton Town. Ricky stayed with Luton for 14 years, made 508 appearances and became a club legend. Emerging at a time when racism was rife, he was only the fourth black player to represent England. Later, as a coach, he had to fight to smash down barriers holding back black managers, and devised an equivalent of the NFL’s ‘Rooney Rule’ to help BAME applicants secure senior coaching jobs in English football. While Ricky has won trophies and awards overseas, he has been overlooked in this country. In Love of the Game, he tells the shocking story behind his short spell in charge of Luton, and reveals just how much the football decision-makers in England have ignored him and other black coaches.
