Tim Pat Coogan's new book, "The Famine Plot" is very good.

I have a new blog post up about John Mitchel, I have included links to free ebooks of some of his books, which are excellent.

I've just bought that, and will post on it on the Famine thread (I think we have one).
Looking forward to reading it.

Maybe a slightly narrow aspect of what you are looking for Saoirse but a fascinating and frightening read nonetheless.



And don't panic, it's not that Sean O'Callaghan.

Looks good, putting it on the list.

I'm also looking to pick up a copy of the Lost Revolution, got it out of the library a while back and enjoyed it, would like to own a copy. Where can I get it cheapest?

It's €12.54 on Kenny's (who are really excellent, bought lots off them recently, very prompt delivery) will that be bettered?

The above Irish republican history blog has some gems, but as to be expected its not the most balanced resource.

Good for him. I'm a great fan of classical Rome and Greece, both their histories and philosophies.

On another topic/era, I recently finished a fine biography: John Stuart Mill - Victorian Firebrand by Richard Reeves. A fine summary of the man's life and ideas and, better yet, a good read.
