Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 1966. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Hardcover. 136 pages. DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. Kenneth David Buchizya Kaunda (born 28 April 1924), also known as KK, served as the first President of Zambia, from 1964 to 1991. He was at the forefront of the struggle for independence from British rule. Dissatisfied with Harry Nkumbula's leadership of the Northern Rhodesian African National Congress, he broke away and founded the Zambian African National Congress, later becoming the head of the United National Independence Party. He was the first President of the independent Zambia. In 1972 all political parties except UNIP were banned. At the same time, Kaunda oversaw the acquisition of majority stakes in key foreign-owned companies. The oil crisis of 1973 and a slump in export revenues put Zambia in a state of economic crisis. International pressure forced Kaunda to change the rules that had kept him in power. Multi-party elections took place in 1991, in which Frederick Chiluba, the leader of the Movement for Multiparty Democracy, ousted Kaunda. Kaunda retired from politics after he was accused of involvement in the failed 1997 coup attempt. After retiring, he has been involved in various charitable organizations. His most notable contribution has been his zeal in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS. From 2002 to 2004, he was an African President-in-Residence at the African Presidential Archives and Research Center at Boston University. President Michael Sata made use of Kaunda as a roving ambassador for Zambia. More

Dublin: Country House, in association with The National Museum of Ireland, 1996. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade paperback. Format is approximately 6.25 inches by 9.5 inches. 48 pages. Illustrations (some in color). Bibliography. Cover has minor wear and soiling. Michael Kenny was a Curator with the National Museum of Ireland. The rebellion of 1798 was one of the bloodiest and most dramatic events in Irish history. Brought about by a combination of French-inspired republicanism, government brutality and the sufferings of a brutalized peasantry, it ran its bloody course in one summer, ending in the utter defeat of those who had sought to overthrow the existing social and political order. The immediate results included wholesale murder, destruction and deportation. The chief political consequence was the abolition of the Irish parliament and an enforced union with Britain. That union, although achieved by thoroughly unsavory methods, might have succeeded, had the British government kept its promise to grant emancipation to the country's Catholic majority. The commitment was not kept, and the twin legacy of a brutally suppressed rebellion and broken promises was to colour and influence Anglo-Irish relations into the twentieth century. The rebellion and its aftermath also had a profound effect on religious and political loyalties in Ireland itself. In this way it exerted a major influence on the course of modern Irish history. More

DJ is worn, torn,taped, soiled, and chipped and price has been torn off. Some endpaper and page soiling noted. From the Foreword by Lord Vansittart: This is a book of remarkable accuracy and insight, and therefore of remarkable utility. It is also the best compendium of revealing facts that I have yet encountered. Its scholarly author is to be greatly commended, and I shall be paying him no unmerited compliment when I say that this book should be put into the hands of every teacher in this country. I hope too that it will find its own yaw into the hands of all students, whether in schools or universities, or thereafter, whether in this country or in the United States, who recognize that safety resides in Truth.
