Liam O'Flaherty's Ireland
Quotations from Liam O'Flaherty's work combine with photographs of Ireland to create a journey of images and words through O'Flaherty's lifetime. The author was born on the Aran Islands. This book covers his early years, his World War I experiences, his years of travel, his involvement in the Irish Civil War and Communist politics, and his success as a writer in a generation of Irish writers that included Frank O'Connor, Sean O'Faolain and Austin Clarke.
Blood And Thunder
Despite the political partition of the island, Ireland competes at rugby internationally with an all-island team – and with a bespoke anthem that nobody loves but everyone tolerates.

In his novels, he transmits a sense of the life there which is unmatched as an imaginative portrayal of the contradictions and disharmonies that have both enriched and impoverished our culture and society. /
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). Through close examination of cases dealt with in the ordinary criminal courts, this study elucidates ideas of class, gender, community a...
