Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. During the German occupation of Rome from 1942 to 1944, Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, a Kerryman and Vatican diplomat, devoted his energy to running an escape organisation for Allied POWs, civilians and Jews. The work was dangerous. Safe within the Vatican with diplomatic immunity, he regularly ventur…ed out in disguise, building a network of contacts and safe locations. His helpers included religious, communists, a Swiss count, British soldiers and the singer Delia Murphy. When the Allies arrived he had saved over 6,000 and was known as 'the Pimpernel of the Vatican'. Kappler, the Gestapo chief in Rome, ordered him captured or killed if seen outside the Vatican. None of those recaptured and tortured betrayed him. After the war, Kappler was sentenced to life. His only visitor, monthly, for many years, was O'Flaherty. They became friends and, in 1959, O'Flaherty baptised his former enemy. O'Flaherty was awarded the highest honours by many Allied countries, including a CBE (UK), the Congressional Medal (US), and was the first Irishman named Notary of the Holy Office. He retired to Cahirciveen in 1960. Eight million people watched him in 1963 on BBC's This Is Your Life. He died just months later. His death was reported by papers worldwide, including the New York Times. The 'Oskar Schindler' of Ireland was immortalised in a 1983 film starring Gregory Peck as O'Flaherty, The Scarlet and the Black, yet the only monument to him in Ireland is a grove of Italian trees planted in Killarney National Park in 1994 by his family and friends.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The most complete guide to the Northern Ireland peace process, this edition marks the tenth anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. By an authority on the process who covered the talks daily, it is an exciting, blow-by-blow account of the lead up to the end of the conflict. Providing insights int…o the behind-the-scenes activities resulting in the power-sharing government of Sinn Fein and Ian Paisley's DUP the author assesses the outcome of the peace process and whether or not there may be moves towards a united Ireland. This new, updated edition reveals: * Different sides in the negotiations became so closely involved senior British and Irish civil servants drafted statements which were subsequently issued in the name of the IRA; * Tony Blair turned the air blue with expletives as he discovered his government was giving Ian Paisley a photo album for his 50th wedding anniversary while the Irish Government's present was a sculpture carved from a tree on the site of the Battle of the Boyne; * Secret sessions took place between British, Irish and republican representatives in Belfast's Clonard Monastery to resolve the issue of IRA decommissioning; * The Irish Government thought the British had unilaterally sidelined the Good Friday Agreement at the closing stages of the St Andrews talks in Scotland in October 2006; * The Irish played Gaelic football in the Hillsborough grounds between negotiating sessions; * Crucial negotiations between Sinn Fein and DUP ended with diagrams of the seating for their joint announcement in March 2007 that they were going into government together.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1922 a journalist commented on British tenacity to General Bruce, leader of the British Everest Expedition. Bruce replied with a single word: 'Shackleton'. Ernest Shackleton is one of history's great explorers, an extraordinary Edwardian character who pioneered the path to the South Pole and bec…ame a leading figure in Antarctic discovery. His incredible adventures on four expeditions to the Antarctic have captivated generations. A restless adventurer from an Irish background, he joined the Empire's last great endeavour of exploration - to reach the South Pole with Scott on the Discovery expedition. A clash with Scott led to Shackleton being ordered home and a bitter feud. Shackleton's riposte was the Nimrod expedition, which uncovered the route to the Pole, achieved the first fixing of the South Magnetic Pole, and honed the acclaimed leadership skills which kept despair at bay and encouraged men to overcome unimaginable hardship on the Endurance expedition. But Shackleton was a flawed character whose chaotic private life contrasted with celebrity status as the leading explorer. Persistent money problems left his men unpaid and his family with debts.This first comprehensive biography in a generation brings a fresh perspective to the heroic age of Polar exploration dominated by Shackleton's complex, compelling and enduringly fascinating story.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. AN ADVENTURE IN GRIEF: THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF ONE WOMAN'S JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF FOLLOWING HER HUSBAND'S SUICIDE. 'I was making dinner when John went out to the barn to shoot himself'. John Johnson was a Vietnam veteran devoured by post-traumatic stress. Eventually he found it impossible to go on l…iving. Following his violent suicide his wife Catherine was faced with an overwhelming grief. Having bravely attempted to battle grief before after the death of her much-loved brother, this time Catherine decided she was going to take it on headfirst. Giving herself a two-year period to deal with the incredible and traumatic effects of her beloved's death she deliberately faced up to grief and allowed it to run its course. Using a variety of therapies, alternative healing, lots of old movies and a sacrosanct permission to deeply feel everything she was undergoing she fought her way through the darkest spell of her life and safely out the other side. Catherine and John had been together for fifteen years when John, suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from the effects of his time fighting during the Vietnam War, took his own life. John was a larger-than-life figure, an English runaway from a brutal childhood of poverty and alcoholism and an Australian Army Officer. John and Catherine were living in the wilds of the Australian Outback when the suicide took place. After this heartbreaking event Catherine was faced with overwhelming grief and left emotionally battered. Having dodged grief once before, she chose to confront her anguish and everything it threw at her, head on. Using tools such as good food, healing therapies and professional counsellors Catherine treated recovery as a tough adventure which brought her into the depths of sadness and loneliness. In time the darkness and despair turned to light as she came to experience extraordinary peace of mind and the joys of living despite the cruel death of the man she loved. Unflinchingly honest and without self-pity, Catherine looks at the hidden aspects of grief and how to manage the strange and unsettling challenges the loss of a loved one provokes. She also portrays with sympathy and candour the devastating impact of post-traumatic stress on a Vietnam veteran long after the war. This is a deeply moving and inspiring story of one person's journey through grief. This powerful memoir and unflinchingly frank account of the process of recovery through grief is both inspiring and enlightening. The book also examines in detail John's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, the horrific manifestations of it at the heart of his decision to end his own life, and how his wife managed to come through the darkest time possible and re-emerge into the world stronger than ever. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. How do we know that what we remember is the truth? Inspired by the story of her relative Marion Stokes, one of three women who raised the tricolour over Enniscorthy in Easter Week 1916, Felicity Hayes-McCoy explores the consequences for all of us when memories are manipulated or obliterated, intentional…ly or by chance. In the power struggle after the Easter Rising, involving, among others, Michael Collins and Eamon de Valera, the ideals for which Marion and her companions fought were eroded, resulting in an Ireland marked by chauvinism, isolationism and secrecy. By mapping her own family stories onto the history of the State, Felicity examines how Irish life today has been affected by the censorship and mixed messages of the past. Absorbing, entertaining and touching, her story moves from Washerwomans Hill in Dublin to London and back again, spans two world wars, a revolution, a civil war and the development of a republic, and culminates in Irelands 2015 same-sex marriage referendum. Also by this author: Enough is Plenty. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Irish construction workers in post-war Britain are celebrated in song and story. Donall MacAmhlaigh kept a diary as he worked the sites, danced in Irish halls, drank in Irish pubs and lived the life of the roving Irish navvy. Work was hard, dirty and dangerous, followed by pints in the Admiral… Rodney, the Shamrock, the Cattle Market Tavern and others. Living conditions were basic at best. This vivid picture of an Irish navvy's life in England in the 1950s mirrors that of an entire generation who left Ireland without education or hope. Days without food or work, the hardships of work camps, lonesome partings after trips home, periods of intense isolation and bitter reflection were all part of the experience.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. On 26 December 1960, 12,000 Ulster police and B Specials began one of their biggest manhunts. It was for Prisoner 1082 - Donal Donnelly - who had made a dramatic escape from the prison known as 'Europe's Alcatraz'. Using hacksaw blades, torn sheets and electric flex, Donal broke out of Crumlin… Road Prison, running the gauntlet of searchlights, alarms and machine guns. Three years earlier, teenage Donal was convicted of membership of the IRA in the first year of Operation Harvest, the 1956-62 republican campaign in Northern Ireland. He was sentenced to ten years. Pursued in the cold, wintry days after his escape, he was given shelter and support by nationalists and republicans. Here Donal reflects on how he came to be on top of a prison wall risking his life, outlines the penal conditions in Northern Ireland and gives a graphic description of how the IRA operated. He charts his later involvement in business and his search for justice for the marginalised. This is the story of a man who overcame the hurdles of his early years to live a successful, happy life. On 26 December 1960, 12,000 Ulster police and B Specials began one of their biggest manhunts. It was for Prisoner 1082 - Donal Donnelly.

Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave and our great abolitionist, forged an unlikely friendship right here in D…ublin with your great liberator, Daniel OConnell.Frederick Douglass arrived in Ireland in the summer of 1845, the start of a two-year lecture tour of Britain and Ireland to champion freedom from slavery. He had been advised to leave America after the publication of his incendiary attack on slavery, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave.Douglass spent four transformative months in Ireland, filling halls with eloquent denunciations of slavery and causing controversy with graphic descriptions of slaves being tortured.

This compelling account of the celebrated escaped slaves tour of Ireland combines a unique insight into the formative years of one of the great figures of nineteenth-century America with a vivid portrait of a country on the brink of famine. Frederick Douglass, a former slave, spent four months in Ireland in 1845, filling halls with eloquent denunciations of slavery and causing controversy with graphic descriptions of slaves being tortured.
