War of Independence Book Reviews

Sean Treacy And The Tan War

Sean Treacy and the Tan War

Joe Ambrose

ISBN 9781856355544

€12.99

A thoroughly interesting book that looks back on the role of Sean Treacy in the guerrilla war in Tipperary.

Joe Ambrose is the author of nine books including Dan Breen and the IRA and the novels, Serious Times and Too Much Too Soon which were praised by The Guardian as being 'unputdownable'. A native of Tipperary, where as a child he knew many of the leaders of that county's IRA campaign, he now divides his time between London, Ireland, and Morocco. He has broadcast with RTÉ, BBC World Service, Lyric FM, and Channel 4.

 

History's Daughter

History's Daughter: A Memoir from the only child of Terence MacSwiney

Máire MacSwiney Brugha

ISBN 9780862789862

€19.95

Published by The O'Brien Press

Far aside from having on the most haunting covers in recent years, this was a book well worth reading casting as it did an interesting and fascinating light on the life of the only daughter of Terence MacSwiney. The book was very well received and was highly praised on release.
