Summary

In Erskine Childers' seminal work, War and the Arme Blanche, the author delves into the intricate relationship between the military strategies of the 19th century and the evolution of warfare into the modern age. Childers's meticulous examination of the use of the traditional cavalry and their white weapons, or 'arme blanche', provides a thorough understanding of how these tactics became obsolete in the face of modern weaponry. Childers' book is a testament to his skill as a writer, combining historical analysis with a compelling narrative that engages readers with the evolution of military tactics. War and the Arme Blanche is a must-read for history enthusiasts and military scholars alike. Erskine Childers, an accomplished Irish author and military analyst, drew inspiration for this book from his firsthand experiences in the British military, enhancing the credibility and insightfulness of his analysis. His expertise and passion for the subject shine through in this meticulously researched and thought-provoking work. I highly recommend War and the Arme Blanche to anyone interested in the evolution of warfare and military history.

    The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project). 
 
Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed. 
 
Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation. 
 
At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation. 
 
The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room! 
 
“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
