"From Romance to Regret", a compelling essay on the Sandinista Revolution in @dubreviewbooks by @Maurice_Walsh, inspired by recent books on the subject

It was better to jump on the bandwagon of fighting the menace of communism, and be cheered on by the American public, than appear to be conducting a squalid colonial war. It also meant that the US would finance the cost of defending the British empire.

"Intimate knowledge of ... small wars ... spread in what Erik Linstrum calls ‘circles of knowing’. His exploration of how these circuits worked and overlapped is original and subtle." Very nice review essay in @dubreviewbooks by @Maurice_Walsh https://t.co/maFxgBSxEm

While still a young player Jack took coaching courses which taught him tactics, how to set up a team rather than just play well. Bobby preferred a romantic notion of great individuals who could win games with demonstration of singular skill and daring. https://t.co/gQYvRVAubl

Probably the most appreciated of the flock of aging English stars who popped up in the League of Ireland in the mid-70s

Bobby Charlton had a spell at Waterford back in the 70's. Charlton was 39 and joined the LOI in Jan '76. It was a short stay of 4 games, he had returned home by the end of Feb for the most part because his wages, subsidised by gate receipts, proved to be less than king making.☘️

Return looted objects to their rightful places of origin - great piece by @NoahAEnahoro about British imperial pillaging of his ancestors' treasures in Benin

I recall Mary Maher fretting about the financial barriers some young people faced in getting into the journalism. Decades later, following her death, The Irish Times has set up a bursary in her name to address this. https://t.co/eBfGkPHHhX

[Dublin Review of Books @dubreviewbooks]

Cowley rejects explanations attributing Brexit to thwarted English nationalism or longing for the lost glories of empire. Instead, it offered the hope that “a common ethical life” could be restored in a world fractured by forces which seemed overwhelming.

#Belarus Please share widely. These are innocent people who remain in inhumane conditions, deprived of their basic rights and are tortured. As of today, we have 913 political prisoners. This is unprecedented for a country of 9.5 million. It is a human rights catastrophe
