PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Tim Pat Coogan is Ireland's best-known historical writer. His 1990 biography of Michael Collins rekindled interest in Collins and his era. He is also the author of The IRA, Long Fellow, Long Shadow, Wherever Green is Worn and The Famine Plot.
'A compelling work ... this tale of murder and mayhem is also a labour of love. Written with pace and clarity, this is an important work that shows how desperate measures taken in desperate times don't easily go away' Irish Independent.
