Brian Holden Reid now considers afresh the military thought of Major-General J.F.C.Fuller - a pioneer of tank warfare and one of the most important military thinkers of the twentieth century. With a wealth of documentation, much of it previously untapped, Dr Reid explores Fuller's formative experiences, showing how his early life, his service in the Boer War and in India, and his friendships with many alienated intellectuals, including the notorious Aleister Crowley, combined to shape his mental outlook and, eventually, his study of the phenomenon of war.

Some nights are just pure magic! In October of 2017, hard rock titans Alter Bridge took to the stage of the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London for two very special headline shows. Myles Kennedy, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips treated the capacity crowds to selections from their entire musical catalog. The set list included some of the bands biggest hits; rarities and even a few songs the band had never previously performed live. Adding another career first for the band, Alter

10th anniversary edition 180-gram vinyl in gatefold sleeve with etched D-side. The 2007's Blackbird marked the creative launch of Alter Bridge, the follow-up project to Rock radio's favorite Creed. After Creed's demise Mark Tremonti, Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall teamed up with singer Myles Kennedy, and formed Alter Bridge as an outlet for their creative energy.

Anthony Cronin's account of life in post-war literary Dublin is a funny and colourful as one would expect from an intimate of Brendan Behan, Patrick Kavanath and Brian O'Nolan (Myles na Gopaleen); but it is also a clear-eyed, astringent antidote to what passes for literary history and memory in the Dublin of today. Cronin writes with remarkable subtlety of the frustrations and pathologies of this generation: the excess of drink, the shortage of sex, the insecurity and begrudgery, the painful limitations of cultural life, and the bittersweet pull of exile. We read of a comical sojourn in France with Behan, and of Cronin's years in London as a literary editor and friend of the writer Julian Maclaren-Ross and the painters Robert MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun.The generation chronicled by Cronin was one of wasted promise. That waste is redressed through the extraordinary prose of Dead as Doornails, which has earned its place in Irish literary history alongside the best works of Behan, Kavanagh, and Myles.

Flann O'Brien was born Brian O'Nolan in Strabane, Co. Tyrone, in 1911. He worked as a civil servant in Dublin for eighteen years, but as Myles na Gopaleen, his alter ego, he was the author of 'An Béal Bocht' and the legendary and hilarious column in 'The Irish Times', 'Cruiskeen Lawn'. 'At Swim-Two-Birds', his first novel, appeared in 1939 and was lauded by James Joyce, Graham Greene, Dylan Thomas and others. But his second, 'The Third Policeman', failed to find a publisher, and for many years Flann O'Brien wrote no more fiction in English, languishing as a cult figure in a city then regarded as a backwater. 'The Third Policeman' has since been acknowledged as one of the most important novels to come out of Ireland in the twentieth century but by the time he was rediscovered, Flann was drinking heavily and in poor health. He died 'rather unexpectedly', on 1 April 1966. Anthony Cronin's 'No Laughing Matter' was the first full-length biography of Flann O'Brien. Rich in background, anecdote and social history, it is an extraordinary portrait of a writer and his times, perceptive, sympathetic and authoritative. Kevin Barry's new foreword illuminates the importance of these two giants of Irish Literature.

In this book, Brian Lavery places the Battle of the Nile in its full strategic context, showing the interplay of military and political factors that sent Nelson's squadron into the Mediterranean in pursuit of the powerful French invasion fleet. This was also Nelson's first independent fleet command, and the author shows the development of his command style and the forging of the esprit de corps which was later to triumph at Trafalgar. It also provides a fascinating and detailed insight into the nature and conditions of naval war in the Age of Sail, from the strain felt by fleet commanders, isolated from higher authority and starved of information of the enemy, to the daily lives of the sailors and the tactics used in battle. All these strands of the story are brought seamlessly together to present the most thorough, detailed, fascinating and vivid account of the most decisive naval campaign of the French Revolutionary Wars.

This is history, not fiction; but the story is pure Patrick O’Brian, with special effects out of The Perfect Storm. The Indian Ocean was the final battleground for Nelson’s navy and France. At stake was Britain’s commercial lifeline to India―and its strategic capacity to wage war in Europe. In one fatal season, the natural order of maritime power since Trafalgar was destroyed. In bringing home Bengali saltpeter for the Peninsular campaign with military and civilian passengers, Britain lost fourteen of her great Indiamen, either sunk or taken by enemy frigates. Many hundreds of lives were lost, and the East India Company was shaken to its foundations. The focus of these disasters, military and meteorological, was a tiny French outpost in mid-ocean―the island known as Mauritius. This is the story of that season. It brings together the terrifying ordeal of men, women, and children caught at sea in hurricanes, and those who survived to take up the battle to drive the French from the Eastern seas. Mauritius must be taken at any cost.

Brian Skyrms constructs a theory of “dynamic deliberation” and uses it to investigate rational decision-making in cases of strategic interaction. This illuminating book will be of great interest to all those in many disciplines who use decision theory and game theory to study human behavior and thought.Skyrms begins by discussing the Bayesian theory of individual rational decision and the classical theory of games, which at first glance seem antithetical in the criteria used for determining action. In his effort to show how methods for dealing with information feedback can be productively combined, the author skillfully leads us through the mazes of equilibrium selection, the Nash equilibria for normal and extensive forms, structural stability, causal decision theory, dynamic probability, the revision of beliefs, and, finally, good habits for decision.The author provides many clarifying illustrations and a handy appendix called “Deliberational Dynamics on Your Personal Computer.” His powerful model has important implications for understanding the rational origins of convention and the social contract, the logic of nuclear deterrence, the theory of good habits, and the varied strategies of political and economic behavior.
