A Most Delightful Station
The Curragh of Kildare is a plain about 4 1/2 miles by 1 1/2 miles; in ancient times it was used as a gathering place. It encompasses the townland of Curragh, which is in the parishes of Ballysax and Kildare.
Soldiers of the Short Grass
This is the first complete history of the Curragh Camp, from its foundation in 1855 to the present day, under both British and Irish occupation. Dan Harvey, a military historian and an experienced senior officer, presents a compelling and fascinating narrative of the camp’s many evocative eras and episodes. This unique establishment has been key in shaping Irish history while being shaped in turn by the great national and international conflicts that it was founded to respond to: the Crimean War, the Boer War, the Great War, the Easter Rising and War of Independence are all accounted for under the banner of the British Army.

A Question of Duty
As the world marched to war in 1914, the army of the British Empire was secretly recovering from one of the most momentous events of its history. In the Curragh Army Camp in the rolling countryside of county Kildare, a senior British general and his officers had threatened to resign rather than deploy their forces to Ulster in response to threats from Protestant populations who were refusing to accept Home Rule. This was the so called Curragh Mutiny, which precipitated the most serious crisis of civil-military relations in modern British history. In this engaging and enjoyable new book, author Paul O'Brien explores the why and the how of those strange days, as well as putting the events in a wider context and bringing home to the modern reader just how close to civil war the British Empire stood in 1914.
