A vivid chronicle of the first blow in the Irish revolution – by the people who were there In 1947 the Bureau of Military History was established by the Irish government to record the experiences of those who took part in the fight for independence. In 1959, the results of this research – including 1,773 ‘witness statements’ – were placed in 83 steel boxes and locked into a strongroom in Government Buildings. Rebels, edited by one of Ireland’s top young historians, brings the best of the surviving accounts of the Easter Rising together into a comprehensive, accessible and thrillingly readable telling of that much-debated insurrection, the first in a series of events that brought about Irish independence. From the witnesses’ recollections of their schooling and other childhood influences to their accounts of what happened at Easter 1916, Rebels tells this famous story in a new and exhilarating way. ‘A remarkable book’ Pat Kenny, RTE ‘If you want to know what [the Rising] was actually like, then Rebels is a good place to start’ Sunday Business Post ‘The most moving material concerns the surrender and the aftermath, including imprisonment and the identification and interrogation of key figures in the Rising’ Irish Times

In the mid-nineteenth century, the Isle Derniere was emerging as an exclusive summer resort on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. About one hundred miles from New Orleans, it attracted the most prominent members of antebellum Louisiana society. Hundreds of affluent planters and merchants retreated to the island, not just for its pleasures, but also to escape the scourge of yellow fever epidemics that ravaged cities like New Orleans each summer. Then, without warning, on August 10, 1856, a ferocious hurricane swept across the island, killing half of its four hundred inhabitants. The Isle Derniere was left barren, except for a strange forest standing in the surf.

In their poverty, the early Kirtland Saints were commanded to build a temple, "a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God" (D&C 88:119) so that the Lord could endow His people "with power from on high." (D&C 95:8). After abandoning Kirtland and that holy house, they built again in Nauvoo, only to watch the temple burn as they left it behind. Upon arriving in the Great Basin, they quickly laid plans for more temples in Salt Lake City, St. George, Manti, and Logan. Time after time, they faced opposition and sacrifice, yet they continued to build, dedicate, learn, and worship. Why did these temples remain so important to the Saints and to the Lord in spite of roadblocks?

To make it easier for the reader to assimilate the copious information inthe book, and to help keep a perspective of the overall philosophy, Ipropose to use this extended introduction briefly to identify my mainthemes and to show how they combine to produce a broad overview of thedevelopment of `western’ spiritual culture. By unravelling oftendeliberately confused historical information and false religiousindoctrination, a radically different picture emerges of the last twomillennia. Although most people may not be aware of it, it is in fact nowthe destiny of the western culture, through the English language, toestablish the Unified (Christ) consciousness as the only truly universalpower capable of reconciling all humanity. With this in mind, the materialpresented here will challenge conventional thinking and drasticallyredefine the accepted version of key events that have shaped our morerecent history."The Second Coming of the Christ Consciousness on Earth is the mostthrilling story of our time. Here it is proclaimed through a miraculouslyrestored biblical text and manifested for all to share by the inspiredactions of a dedicated few across the Planet. This unusuallycomprehensive account is compelling reading and convincingly provesthat the final and inescapable choice between Love and Fear nowchallenges each one of us. Free will is ours by Divine decree, but dowe hear the call?" Sir George Trevelyan, United Kingdom 1994"Multiple levels of understanding, rich and stimulating await thereader. This text is a must for daring thinkers of every tradition; thereis something for everyone, and above all it gives us hope. The ThirdBook of the Apocalypse, restored by direct spirit intervention, with itspower and magnificence reveals to us the Greater hand and Heart thatis ever watching for our responses." Rev. Carol Parrish, Principal andFounder, Sancta Sophia Seminary, The Light of Christ Church, USA
