It exposed his status as an informant and led to protests, campaigns, far-reaching changes to British law, a historic ruling from a senior judicial body, a ground-breaking police investigation, and bitter condemnation from a US Congressional commission.

Decades before the Betty Ford Center became a household name—and long before the band the Dropkick Murphys named themselves in his honor—the phrase going to Dropkick’s meant a person struggling with addiction needed help and would soon get some.

Ten years later, the United States had been transformed by this stupendous migration, nowhere more than New York: by 1855, roughly a third of all adults living in Manhattan were immigrants who had escaped the hunger in Ireland.

You scramble up over the dunes of an isolated beach. You climb to the summit of a lonely hill. You pick your way through the eerie hush of a forest. And then you find them. The traces of the past. Perhaps they are marked by a tiny symbol on your map, perhaps not. There are no plaques to explain their fading presence before you, nothing to account for what they once were—who made them, lived in them, or abandoned them. Now they are merged with the landscape. They are being reclaimed by nature. They are wild history.

Northern Ireland was as dirty a war to Irish people as Vietnam was to Americans. This book epitomizes the era and how people lived during the 60s & 70s. How the Civil Rights movement came into being and the fallout thereafter. It confirms that “Bigotry” is not a thing of the past and that it can still rear its ugly head.

Northern Ireland was as dirty a war to Irish people as Vietnam was to Americans. This book epitomizes the era and how people lived during the 60s & 70s. How the Civil Rights movement came into being and the fallout thereafter. It confirms that “Bigotry” is not a thing of the past and that it can still rear its ugly head.
