The Irish Revolution - the war between the British authorities and the newly-formed IRA - was the first successful revolt anywhere against the British Empire. This is a vividly-written, compelling narrative placing events in Ireland in the wider context of a world in turmoil after the ending of a global war: one that saw the collapse of empires and the rise of fascist Italy and communist Russia. Walsh shows how developments in Europe and America had a profound effect on Ireland, influencing the attitudes and expectations of combatants and civilians. Walsh also brings to life what Irish people who were not fully involved in the fighting were doing - the plays they went to, the exciting films they watched in the new cinemas, the books they read and the work they did. The freedom from Britain that most of them wanted was, when it came, a bitter disappointment to a generation aware of the promise of modernity.

"Jafa Wallach describes the wrenching firsthand experience of a small group of Jews caught up in the Nazi atrocities as they struggle to survive with the help of an even smaller number of sympathetic Poles. During World War II, Jafa Wallach, her husband Naton, a physician, and Jafa's two brothers were concealed in a grave-like space less than five feet across and about four feet high. They lived in that hole less than twenty feet from Gestapo headquarters in a small town in occupied Poland. They were unable to emerge and were entirely dependent on one man, Jozef Zwomarz, who risked his own life and the life of his own loved ones to save theirs. [The book] was originally written in 1959, but remained unpublished until Jafa's daughter Rena Bernstein produced it as a limited family edition in 2006. ..."--Back cover.

This is the most recent publication of Bitter Freedom, a tale so genuine, so sincere, and so rich in psychological and factual detail that it will be read by millions with tears and heartache. If Ann Frank had had a chance to describe what happened to her and her family after their arrest, her Diary: Part II would have resembled Jafa Wallach`s Bitter Freedom.

"Bitter Freedom is an insightful evaluation of the pivotal role of the Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction in war-torn South Carolina as written by a young bureau agent eager to do his part in rebuilding a divided nation." "In early 1868 Major William Stone of the Nineteenth Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteers, having survived four major Civil War battles and three combat wounds, arrived in South Carolina to assume his duties in the newly formed Freedmen's Bureau. Spanning nearly three years of this service, his recently discovered first-person narrative chronicles his keen observations on the postwar South and his experiences in carrying out the bureau's efforts in voter registration, education, land reform, civil rights enforcement, and mediation of racial disputes. Stone was diligent in his duties and detailed in his writings, the result of which is a compelling recollection of turbulant race relations in small towns of the upstate surrounding Anderson and along the Savannah River near Alken." "That Stone was the son of a prominent New England abolitionist minister is apparent in his critical commentary on slave culture and in his perceptions of its negative impact on the morality of whites and blacks alike following the war. Likewise his boyhood experiences on a small farm color his assessment of what he viewed as the wastefulness of Southern agricultural methods. Stone's background, combat experiences, and earnest inclination toward public service make for a fascinating vantage point in his vivid descriptions of the poverty, political corruption, racial hatreds, explosive violence, and corrosive animosity toward all things Yankee he witnessed in the defeated South - a place he describes as being "almost like a foreign country." Yet Stone was so moved by the possibilities for progress and reforms he saw in South Carolina that, after his Freedmen's Bureau service ended, he went on to establish a successful Saw practice in Charleston and was eventually appointed as the state's attorney general by Governor Daniel H. Chamberlain." "Edited by his descendants, Stone's recollections remind modern readers of the harsh circumstances and bitter emotions of South Carolinians immediately following the Civil War and of the efforts of some to mend social and economic wounds. The record of service is augmented with seventeen illustrations and an introduction by historian Lou Falkner Williams that sets the writings in the broader context of Reconstruction history."--BOOK JACKET.

The Bitter Road to Freedom is a powerful, deeply moving account of an earth-shattering year in the history of the U.S. and Europe. Americans are justly proud of the role their country played in liberating Europe from Nazi tyranny. For many years, we have celebrated the courage of Allied soldiers, sailors, and aircrews who defeated Hitler's regime and restored freedom to the continent. But in recounting the heroism of the "greatest generation," Americans often overlook the wartime experiences of European people themselves—the very people for whom the war was fought. In this brilliant new book, historian William I. Hitchcock surveys the European continent from D-Day to the final battles of the war and the first few months of peace. Based on exhaustive research in five nations and dozens of archives, Hitchcock's groundbreaking account shows that the liberation of Europe was both a military triumph and a human tragedy of epic proportions. This strikingly original, multinational history of liberation brings to light the interactions of soldiers and civilians, the experiences of noncombatants, and the trauma of displacement and loss amid unprecedented destruction. This book recounts a surprising story, often jarring and uncomfortable, and one that has never been told with such richness and depth. Ranging from the ferocious battle for Normandy (where as many French civilians died on D-Day as U.S. servicemen) to the plains of Poland, from the icy ravines of the Ardennes to the shattered cities and refugee camps of occupied Germany, The Bitter Road to Freedom depicts in searing detail the shocking price that Europeans paid for their freedom.
