Who Do I Think I Am?
When Homan Potterton was appointed Director of the National Gallery of Ireland in 1979 at the age of thirty-three, he was the youngest ever Director since the foundation of the Gallery in 1854. Who Do I Think I Am? is the sequel to the author’s best-selling childhood memoir Rathcormick: A Childhood Recalled. Written in a witty and amusing style, Homan Potterton regales the reader with tales of student days at Trinity, Dublin, summer jobs in London, carefree travel in Europe, and his unexpected journey to the director’s office of the National Gallery of Ireland, after his first museum job in the National Gallery, London.

'An Alien Ideology'
An 'Irish Cuba' - on Britain's doorstep? This book studies perceptions of the Soviets' influence over Irish revolutionaries during the Cold War. The Dublin authorities did not allow the Irish state's non-aligned status to prevent them joining the West's crusade against communism. Leading officials, such as Colonel Dan Bryan in G2, the Irish army intelligence directorate, argued that Ireland should assist the NATO powers. These officials believed Irish communists were directed by the British communist party, the CPGB. If communists in Belfast and Dublin were too isolated to pose a threat in either Irish jurisdiction, the republican movement was a different matter. The authorities, north and s...

The Slow Failure
Today Ireland’s population is rising, immigration outpaces emigration, most families have two or at most three children, and full-time farmers are in steady decline. But the opposite was true for more than a century, from the great famine of the 1840s until the 1960s. Between 1922 and 1966—most of the first fifty years after independence—the population of Ireland was falling, in the 1950s as rapidly as in the 1880s. Mary Daly’s The Slow Failure examines not just the reasons for the decline, but the responses to it by politicians, academics, journalists, churchmen, and others who publicly agonized over their nation’s “slow failure.” Eager to reverse population decline but fearfu...
Bad Money
Spur Award-Winning Author ED GORMAN The money is phony but the murders are real… A COUNTERFEITING RING WITH MORE THAN INK ON ITS HANDS... Secret Service Agent Dev Mallory didn't get to be the best playing by the rules. He's trained to kill, but only as a last resort—because murder has a way of coming back at you... Not too many counterfeiters have outwitted Secret Service Agent Dev Mallory. President Cleveland handpicked him to shut down an elaborate counterfeiting scheme in Denver before it floods the West with funny money and collapses the U.S. economy. The Denver operation might be the best Dev has ever seen, thanks to a corrupt government engraver who's probably outlived his usefulness. Suspected ring members are already turning up dead-and a trusted Secret Service agent has been murdered. But when unexpected ties and betrayals from the past catch up with Dev, the cost of solving this counterfeiting case could include his own life...
