Capital Punishment in Independent Ireland
This is a comprehensive and nuanced historical survey of the death penalty in Ireland from the immediate post-civil war period through to its complete abolition. Using original archival material, this book sheds light on the various social, legal and political contexts in which the death penalty operated and was discussed. In Ireland the death penalty served a dual function: as an instrument of punishment in the civilian criminal justice system, and as a weapon to combat periodic threats to the security of the state posed by the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

The Studebaker US6
This is the untold story of the Studebaker 2 1/2 ton truck of WW2. Although the vehicle was well designed, handsome and an excellent performer by all accounts, few but the most diehard Studebaker enthusiasts know of this truck's significance in WW2, particularly as compared to the "original deuce" - the GMC CCKW. With nearly 200,000 US6's built, one might expect to see more of these attractive vehicles still around, whether earning their keep at a local farm or showing up at a car show. This book is the product of over 20 years of careful research that led the author, David Doyle, around the globe, ferreting out the story of one of the unsung heroes of WW2, the Studebaker US6. Over 600 high resolution pictures including many never before seen images from the Studebaker archives and private collections. Almost all of the photographs are either full page (8x10) or half page with captions. The printing is of the finest quality on glossy paper. Includes a 20+ page appendix/chart with production details including variants by year, registration numbers & contract and more.
M151 MUTT
The M151 was intended as a lightweight, high-mobility replacement for the M38A1, itself a successor to the famed WWII jeep. Dubbed the Military Utility Tactical Truck or MUTT by the military, GIs almost universally referred to the vehicle as a jeep. The series' service life spanned more than 40 years and four manufacturers.
B-17 Flying Fortress in Action
The B-17 Flying Fortress dropped more bombs than any other US aircraft in WWII and is arguably the iconic bomber of that epic conflict. During the 10 years in which it was produced, a total of 12,731 of the B-17 heavy bombers rolled off the assembly lines of Boeing, Douglas Aircraft, and Lockheed's subsidiary Vega. First flown in 1935, the aircraft was repeatedly modified, upgraded, and perfected in response to combat experience. Also highlights the roles played by individual aircraft and their crews, including Memphis Belle, which completed 25 missions over enemy territory; Stage Door Canteen, christened by Winston Churchill's daughter; and All American, which demonstrated the incredible toughness of the Flying Fortress by returning safely to base despite having its tail nearly sheared off by a Messerschmitt.
