The Solarian League lies in defeat, crushed by the Grand Alliance of Manticore, Haven, and Grayson. Obedient to the Alliance's surrender demands, the League is writing a new Constitution, to prevent the reemergence of out-of-control bureaucrats, like the "Mandarins" who led it to disaster. Frontier Security has been disbanded, the outer worlds have regained control of their own economic destinies, and multiple star systems will soon secede from the League entirely.

Good but rushed with unessesary charcher apperence
Revisado: 09-06-23
Over all I enjoyed this book there where thrre main issues. One the narator who did well in the past did some odd accents and new voices for characters that didn't work in my opinion. The First two thirds of the story work for the most part sowing the efforst to reconstruciton Mesa and mend fences with the Solarian League. the last part of the book feels realy rushed and should have been set aside for another story. The inclusion of Honor was unesesary Spoilers ahead:
I didn't think Honor needed to make an apperence this isn't her story putting her in it detracted from the rest of the narateive. The too easy discovery of "the other Mesan Alinment planet" felt rushed and made it seem like the Mesan's weren't as compitent as they have been in the past

In the spring of 1864, Robert E. Lee faced a new adversary: Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant. Named commander of all Union armies in March, Grant quickly went on the offensive against Lee in Virginia. On May 4th, Grant's army struck hard across the Rapidan River into north central Virginia, with Lee's army contesting every mile. They fought for 40 days until, finally, the Union army crossed the James River and began the siege of Petersburg. The campaign cost 90,000 men - the largest loss the war had seen.

For most of the last 2,000 years, questions about the figure of Jesus have begun with the Gospels, but the Gospels themselves raise puzzling questions about both Jesus and the religious movement within which these narratives were produced. Is it possible to shape a single picture from the various accounts of his life given us by these Gospels?

The Gosples in Early Christianity
Revisado: 03-01-23
Over all a great and informative course. I have a lot of Theology classes undr my belt but this leturer had new perspectives that I found interesting and engaging. He is a bit pendantic especilay in the early lectures but becomes more converstational as the couser proceades I am not sure why. His final lectures especialy the last one were the most engaging the first few his least If you dislike him in the early lectures hang in and see if things get better they did for me.

The Irish-American story, with all its twists and triumphs, is told through the improbable life of one man. A dashing young orator during the Great Famine of the 1840s, in which a million of his Irish countrymen died, Thomas Francis Meagher led a failed uprising against British rule, for which he was banished to a Tasmanian prison colony. He escaped and six months later was heralded in the streets of New York - the revolutionary hero, back from the dead, at the dawn of the great Irish immigration to America.

I wanted to like it more but...
Revisado: 09-25-17
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Far more is devoted to Meagher's early life in ireland than to his civil war service. The book is written almost like historial fiction... very little is sighted as being form letters, diaries or other sorces after our hero leave Australia.
Would you recommend The Immortal Irishman to your friends? Why or why not?
Its a good history of the Irish Famin from the Irish perspective.
What aspect of Gerard Doyle’s performance would you have changed?
The accent. The Irish accents is great for aproprate quotations but its distracting when going through historical back ground
Did The Immortal Irishman inspire you to do anything?
Does turning it off when 85% complet count?
Any additional comments?
I'll probably finish the book at some point but it got too dry something that shouldn't happen when describing some of the most savage fighting of the American Civil War.

Great insight but not the book
Revisado: 12-10-13
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed the insight but thought I was getting the full book with commentary a bit like DVD extras. Enjoyable but not what I thought I was buying.
