John Charles
One of the greatest footballers Britain has produced, John Charles left his native Swansea at 18 to join Leeds United where he was switched from defense to attack. The Yorkshire club reached the First Division for the first time in its history thanks to Charles' phenomenal strike ratio of a goal every other game. Juventus paid a British record of £65,000 to take him to Turin in 1957. He enjoyed a glamorous life in Italy, however, it was not all glory. He returned to Leeds in 1962 but the move was a disaster and, after just 91 days, he went back to Italy to join Roma where he struggled to recapture his past form. This biography contains interviews with former team-mates and family members, and also looks at his failed business ventures after football and his fight against cancer.
John Charles McQuaid
An in-depth study of the most significant Irish clergyman in the history of the state For three decades, 1940-72, as Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland, John Charles McQuaid imposed his iron will on Irish politicians and instilled fear among his clergy and laity. No other churchman amassed the religious, political and social power which he exercised with unscrupulous severity. An admirer of the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover, Archbishop McQuaid built up a vigilante system that spied on politicians and priests, workers and students, doctors and lawyers, nuns and nurses, soldiers and trade unionists. There was no room for dissent when John Charles spoke in the name of Jesus Christ. This power was used to build up a Catholic-dominated state in which Protestants, Jews and feminists were not welcome.
