Bloodland

A private security
contractor loses it in
the Congo, with deadly
consequences, while in
Ireland the ex-prime
minister struggles to
write his memoir. A
tabloid star is killed in
a helicopter crash and
three years later a young
journalist is warned off
the story. As a news
story breaks in Paris, a
US senator prepares his
campaign to run for
office. What links these
things and who controls
what we know? With echoes
of John Le Carre and 24,
Alan Glynn has written
another crime novel of
and for our times - a
ferocious thriller that
moves from Dublin to New
York via West Africa,
and thrillingly explores
the legacy of corruption
in big business, the
West's fear of China,
the fate of ex-military,
the role of back room
political players, and
the quick fix of online
news.

Story Of Ireland - In Search
Of A New National Memory

Details: The history of
Ireland has traditionally
focused on the localized
struggles of religious
conflict, territoriality
and the fight for Home
Rule. But from the early
Catholic missions into
Europe to the embrace of
the euro, the real story
of Ireland has played out
on the larger
international stage.
Story of Ireland presents
this new take on Irish
history, challenging the
narrative that has been
told for generations and
drawing fresh conclusions
about the way the Irish
have lived. Revisiting
the major turning points
in Irish history, Neil
Hegarty re-examines the
accepted stories,
challenging long-held
myths and looking not
only at the dynamics of
what happened in Ireland,
but also at the role of
events abroad. How did
Europe's 16th century
religious wars inform the
incredible violence
inflicted on the Irish by
the Elizabethans? What
was the impact of the
French and American
revolutions on the Irish
nationalist movement?
What were the
consequences of Ireland's
policy of neutrality
during the Second World
War? Story of Ireland
sets out to answer these
questions and more,
rejecting the
introspection that has
often characterized Irish
history. Accompanying a
landmark series
coproduced by the BBC and
RTE, and with an
introduction by series
presenter, Fergal Keane,
Story of Ireland is an
epic account of Ireland's
history for an entire new
generation. Ideal for:
Excellent book with super
history of Ireland. A
must for all those
interested in Ireland and
her people. This hardback
book has 374 pages and
measures: 24 x 16 x 3.5cm
