Under the pen name Richard Killeen he wrote several acclaimed works of Irish history, including Ireland in Brick and Stone: The Island's History and Its Buildings, The Historic Atlas of Dublin and The Concise History of Modern Ireland. His previous book, The Irish Difference, was chosen as a Book of the Year by the Irish Times. Fergal died in February 2023, just after he finished writing A City Runs Through Them.
Witty, thought-provoking, wide-ranging and highly readable. * Irish Times on THE IRISH DIFFERENCE * The beauty of this book is in the telling: The Irish Difference lays out its themes and chronologies with impeccable clarity, and is full of fascinating detail... Exemplary. * Irish Independent on THE IRISH DIFFERENCE * You may not agree with everything Fergal Tobin says; you may not even agree with any of it. But the book is so entertaining, so well-written, and so thought-provoking that you are certainly likely to enjoy it. -- David McCullagh * RTÉ Online on THE IRISH DIFFERENCE *
