Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. To tie in with the 100 year anniversary of The Great Gatsby, Gatsby: Death of an Irishman delivers a compelling and new insight into the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the genesis of The Great Gatsby.Fitzgerald once told a friend that 'Gatsby started as one man I knew and then changed into… myself.' Jay Gatsby's story is one of aspiration and reinvention, so was Fitzgerald's. The book shows how Fitzgerald dramatized the most powerful emotional experiences of his own life in the novel; from his childhood in the Midwest, Ivy League education at Princeton, literary success in New York, partying on Long Island, and marital struggles on the French Riviera.Underpinning Scott's brilliant, but turbulent, life was his complex, evolving and surprising relationship with his Irish heritage. Scott's journey went from childhood shame in St. Paul at being 'common' Irish to a patriotic immersion in Irish literature and revolutionary politics at Princeton. But the shame never went away, reinforced when the poor boy found he could not marry the rich girl. He tried to escape it; first through his imagination as a boy, and then through self-invention as a young man, then in his writing, and throughout his adult life in alcohol. Gatsby: Death of an Irishman is a fresh and compelling insight into the life of F. Scott Fitzgerald and the genesis of his most iconic character.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The city of Galway has a rich body of historic buildings that date from its establishment in the thirteenth century to the present day. The city is positioned on the estuary of the River Corrib where it enters Galway Bay on the west coast of Ireland. It was initially founded by the Norman R…ichard de Burgo, who chose to build his castle here around 1220, and, despite Gaelic opposition, a Norman urban settlement had became permanently established by 1270. Shortly afterwards, work began on the defense of the settlement by a town wall that enclosed around eleven hectares, and work began on forming riverside quays. Inside the walls the town was laid out in an irregular street grid that included Market Street, Shop Street, Middle Street, St Augustine Street, Abbeygate Street and Cross Street, all lined with closely packed medieval houses, with the parish church of St Nicholas in a central position. A number of religious orders, such as the Augustinians, Franciscans and Dominicans, established houses outside the walls. This highly illustrated work explores that heritage through the medieval, Victorian and Georgian periods. Galway, established in the 13th century, has a rich historic body of buildings. The town was defended by a wall enclosing 11 hectares with riverside quays. Medieval houses lined streets like Market, Shop, Middle, and Cross Street.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Gerald Boland (Gear id Beol in) Irish militant revolutionary, politician and statesman, has until now ranked amongst the forgotten figures of modern Irish history. This book addresses this historical imbalance. Boland's life story offers readers an insight into the birth and subsequent deve…lopment of the modern Ireland. From a humble working-class family, steeped in the Irish Republican tradition, Boland played an active role in the Irish Revolution and subsequently was at the forefront of political life in the nascent years of the Irish Free State, first as a Sinn F in elected representative and thereafter within Fianna F il. Boland's story thus offers readers a personal insight into many of the major military and political events which helped shape modern Ireland over the duration of his lifetime (1885-1973).Importantly, this biographical study provides readers with a critical examination regarding Gerald Boland's military adventures, political maneuvers and significantly his forgotten role as one of Ireland's eminent state builders. The picture that is painted is of a patriotic adolescent emerging to become a strong-willed militant young man turned politician and later respected (and sometimes feared) government minister. The Irish militant revolutionary, politician and statesman Gerald Boland ranks amongst the most important yet neglected figures of modern Irish history. Boland's life offers an insight into the birth and subsequent development of modern Ireland. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What was achieved by the Free State during the Irish Civil War was remarkable. Within a period of less than a year they raised and equipped a standing National Army of nearly 60,000 soldiers, defeating the anti-Treaty elements of the IRA. Using the counterinsurgency framework of Clear-Hold-…Build, the author examines, analyzes and explains how the Free State managed to attain this remarkable achievement.Outnumbered at the start of the fighting, the Free State overcame an IRA insurgency by utilizing a number of key concepts that will be explained throughout this thesis. These concepts include the combination of kinetic clearance operations and 'Good Governance' stability actions. They also include; the use of locally recruited soldiers combined with experienced Irish veterans from World War I; the ability to generate, train and equip a new standing National Army to counter and gain combat power over the IRA; the capacity to become an adaptive learning organization, to reform, reorganize and reconsolidate against IRA tactical gains; and finally the ability to foster trust with the local population, enhancing the information sharing nexus and undermining the IRA cause. All of these concepts will be explained and examined through analyzing the successful counterinsurgency campaign executed by the Free State during the Irish Civil War.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. During the Irish War of Independence, the British and the Irish sides often reflected one another. Both the Irish and the British did well in some areas, and were deficient in others. But both sides used terror - murder - burnings - shearing women's hair - to intimidate the Irish population…. British Field Marshal Henry Wilson said of the Black and Tans "It was the business of the government to govern. If these men ought to be murdered, then the government ought to murder them." Michael Collins could equally chillingly say "Careful application of terrorism is also an excellent form of total communication." The actions of the British and Irish frequently mirrored one another - an uncomfortable reality of the War of Independence. This book examines the trauma of the times - both the exceptional and the ordinary - through a diverse range of topics. During the Irish War of Independence, the British and the Irish sides often reflected one another. Both the Irish and the British did well in some areas, and were deficient in others.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown is known for its incredible diversity in geography, socio-economic status, industries, religion and occupations. From coastal areas to modern suburbs, sparsely-populated uplands, and agricultural regions, the county showcases various ways of life. It encompasses pract…ically every type of occupation and identity found on the island of Ireland.Despite this diversity, the voices of ordinary people have often been overlooked in historical accounts. The narratives of the gentry and wealthy families have been prioritized and recorded, while ordinary people's stories have gone unheard. This is a common pattern worldwide, where those with bigger public profiles are more likely to be written about in the media. Wealthy individuals tend to live in architecturally important homes that become historical landmarks and attract attention, while the lives of those with modest incomes are often forgotten.To rectify this imbalance, it is essential to talk to people and gather their memories and stories passed down in families and communities. This vital work by author and oral historian Deirdre Nuttall attempts to do just that, shedding light on the lives of the less well-connected and bringing a more comprehensive understanding of the rich history of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown.

Today, silhouetted against the Laois skyline, the stark grandeur of the ruined fastness of Dunamase has the power still to sti…r our imaginations.Plundered by Viking raiders in 843AD, it became the dowry of Aoife, the bartered daughter of Diarmait Mac Murchada, when she married Richard De Clare, Strongbow, as the price for the Anglo-Norman invader restoring Diarmait as king of Leinster.Fortified by a murder hole, arrow slits, portcullis, drawbridge and high protecting walls, the struggles between Gaelic Irish versus invading forces played out around the fortress of Dunamase for centuries.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Rural Ireland and its agricultural way of life are emblematic of this country. For most of modern history, however, rural Ireland and Irish agriculture were comparatively underdeveloped. This changed dramatically in the twentieth century, during which they were transformed. In 1900 they wer…e synonymous with poverty; by 2000 they had become synonymous with progress. Many people and organizations contributed to this, but chief among these were the Irish agricultural advisory services.First established in the early 1900s, they are today operated as a public service by Teagasc, Ireland's Agriculture and Food Development Authority. With their establishment, agricultural instructors, trained to the highest international standards, were dispatched to every community in rural Ireland. Their brief was to work with farmers, helping them to improve their farm enterprises and, in so doing, to develop rural Ireland. This gradually bore fruit, as each succeeding generation of agricultural advisors and farmers cooperated to adopt the most modern agricultural approaches. This book tells their story.

This evidence ranges from the growing body of ancient DNA evidence that is beginning to answer some lingering questions about Irish prehistoric populations to the legacy of new or introduced artefact, burial or settlement types that give us some insight into the lives of these new arrivals. Equally, such evidence has an important role in telling us about Ireland's connections with the wider world. During the ages of exploration, colonisation and transplantations, ships crossed oceans to trade, raid or transport. Irish people were on board. The emigrations of the nineteenth century following the devastation of the Famine witnessed a population shift from Ireland to new worlds, where broader connections were forged and where the Irish diaspora expressed their identities in different contexts and emerging new communities. 'Imirce: Migration and Ireland through Time' is the edition collection of the NMS annual archaeology conference, and the papers include providedstimulating insights into how identities evolved in response to new contexts and the many identities that have contributed to Irish society over time.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The seventeenth century in Ireland was a time of huge change. At its beginning, there were still significant areas under Catholic Gaelic ownership and cultural sway; by the end - almost none. The story of how the island made this journey is not well known.The Kennedy family provided us with… a window into a turbulent century from the point of view of the people who lived there. They were one of the few Gaelic lines who did not become thoroughly anglicized, but went that one step further and embraced Protestantism. Their story shows how this accelerated their rise to power and improved their social standing. They became lords of a manor and baronets. Yet despite their adroit manoeuvring, the instability of the times eventually led to their undoing.This book will be of interest not only to those who live in Newtownmountkennedy and the surrounding communities in Co Wicklow, but also to Dubliners, as a major part of their story is set in this city. Up close and personal makes history come alive.
