 Ireland
and the Irish
Synopsis ~ This is a book about Ireland and the Irish.
Although not history, it will cover the past extensively,
although not politics it will cover north and south,
"the troubles" and their background. There
will be much about the people, their defining national
character and personality, the relationship to Europe,
Britain and the US and although not literary criticism,
there will be a lot about the arts and literature of
the country.

 Belfast
Diary : War As a Way of Life
Review ~ A reader from Eugene, Oregon , 26 January,
1999 ~ American perspective on an Irish war from the
front lines I loved this book. It was a very interesting
story of an American journalist who placed himself on
the front line of the conflict in Belfast. While attempting
to blend in, he finds himself being questioned by both
sides of the "peace wall." He even has an
interesting run-in with the IRA. This book is a good
read as well as very informative.
