The advent of the War on Terror has seen intelligence agencies emerge out of the shadows to become major political players. 'Rendition', untrammelled surveillance, torture and detention without trial are now fast becoming the norm. Spies, Lies and the War on Terror traces the transformation of intelligence from a tool for law enforcement to a means of avoiding the law - both national and international. The new culture of victimhood in the US and among partners in the 'coalition of the willing' has crushed domestic liberties and formed a global network of extra-legal licence. State and corporate interests are increasingly fused in the new business of privatising fear. Todd & Bloch argue that the bureaucracy and narrow political goals surrounding intelligence actually have the potential to increase the terrorist threat. This lively and shocking account is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the new power of intelligence.

Migration--people moving in as immigrants, around as migrants, and out as emigrants--is a major theme of Irish history. This is the first book to offer both a survey of the last four centuries and an integrated analysis of migration, reflecting a more inclusive definition of the "people of Ireland."

Mainly written in exile while Patrick FitzGerald served as a full-time revolutionary, Epitaphs and Dreams, vividly expresses the thoughts, emotions, situations, passions and challenges in the life of a liberation cadre. Struggle themes are artfully threaded through the inner-life of a lively and engaged intellect. The author is at once the militant, the romantic, the analyst and the sardonic observer - the poetry ranging from the delicate and lyrical to powerfully directed narrative cadences. Several poems poignantly memorialise fallen comrades, while others speak about partings and regret, the punishments of distance and absence, and close personal relationships whirled away in the time and tide of struggle. The poetic voice evokes a past, but still lingering world, when ideals were important and sacrifice and courage critical mediums of everyday existence. These poems conjure numerous traces of a time of great difficulties, but one less mercenary and more value-driven than our current era.

This is a new release of the original 1952 edition.
