Críticas:

'you are struck as much by the richness of the prose as by the accounts of military actions. His descriptions [...] are almost poetic.' 20130317 'this brilliantly written book has stood the test of time.' -- Brian Murphy 20130330 'You don't need to know anything about Irish history to enjoy this wonderful book.' 20130327

Reseña del editor:

'On Another Man's Wound', its title taken from an old Ulster proverb, 'It's easy to sleep on another man's wound', was first published in 1936 and has become the classic account of the years 1916-21 in Ireland. It captures the essence of Ireland at the time, the way people lived, their attitudes, their beliefs, the songs they sang, the legends they knew. O'Malley pictures the Irish landscape magnificently, and his cameo sketches of the great personalities of the Rising and the war that followed bring them into instant focus. The sequel 'The Singing Flame', which details O'Malley's experiences of the Irish Civil War, and 'Raids and Rallies', covering his comrade's experiences during the War of Independence, are also available from Mercier Press.
