ERIN GO BRAGH I
Erin go bragh: The Beginning, 1969 - 1973 Roger M. Schlosser Abstract A new book on the modern Irish Troubles seems at once a bit late now that some thing of a peace has settled in the North of Ireland, but it is also possibly anticipating what is to come. 2016 will be the one hundredth anniversary of the 1916 Rising, or Irish Rebellion. In the Republic of Ireland there will be commemorations celebrating the birth of Eire. But in the North of Ireland there will be a different atmosphere since six counties of the Province of Ulster remain part of the United Kingdom. The fiftieth anniversary in 1966 inaugurated the recent round of the Irish Troubles in the North. What will the centennial bring...

The Princes of Ireland
Publisher Description
Britain and Ireland, 900–1300
There is a growing interest in the history of relations between the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish as the United Kingdom and Ireland begin to construct new political arrangements and to become more fully integrated into Europe. This book brings together work on how these relations developed between 900 and 1300, a period crucial for the formation of national identities. The conquest of England by the Normans and the subsequent growth in English power required the inhabitants of Britain and Ireland to reassess their dealings with each other. Old ties were broken and new ones formed. Economic change, the influence of chivalry, the transmission of literary motifs, and questions of aristocratic identity are among the topics tackled here by leading scholars from Britain, Ireland and North America. Little has been published hitherto on this subject, and the book marks a major contribution to a topic of lasting interest.
Bandit Country
South Armagh was firstdescribed as "Bandit Country" by Merlyn Rees when he was Northern Ireland's Secretary of State, and for nearly three decades it has been the most dangerous posting in the world for soldiers. Toby Harnden has stripped away the myth and propaganda associated with South Armagh to produce one of the most compelling and important books of the subject. Drawing on secret documents and interviews in South Armagh s recent history, he tells the inside story of how the IRA came close to bringing the British state to its knees. For the first time, the identities of the men behind the South Quay and Manchester bombings are revealed. Packed with new information, "Bandit Country" penetrates the IRA and the security forces in South Armagh."
