The Ballycotton Job This is the story of the most astonishing act of piracy carried out in Ireland in the last two hundred years. It was an operation almost flawless in its planning and execution that changed the course of the Irish Civil War Winston Churchill called it ‘brilliantly conceived’ adding ‘the Irish have a genius for conspiracy’. While a furious Michael Collins accused the British of deliberately arming his enemies in the IRA. Indeed, it’s quite likely that the bullet that killed him came from the Upnor. The Ballycotton Job brings this long forgotten story dramatically back to life. For the first time all the strands of the adventure with its cast of disparate characters are woven together, resulting in a riveting account. It’s the first comprehensive description of: the seizure of the Upnor, the events leading up to it and the consequences of the operation. Based on years of archival research it uniquely tells the story from both an Irish and British perspective. The fast paced narrative is enlivened by dialogue and details obtained from historical interviews with many of the participants. €14.99

Towards Ireland Free In the War of Independence, military leaders such as Michael Collins, Liam Lynch and Liam Deasy secured Irish independence from a country that had seemingly limitless resources of men, money and arms. The British, lacked the one thing which the Irish possessed in abundance: a burning conviction in the justice of their cause. 

First published in 1973, Towards Ireland Free is the story of one of these leaders. Liam Deasy was just twenty at the time of the 1916 Easter Rising. He enrolled in the Volunteers in Bandon in 1917 and by 1921 was in command of the West Cork Brigade. In this account of the War of Independence in West Cork, he vividly recreates the tense and hope-filled atmosphere of those years and provides a rich gallery of portraits of those alongside whom he fought. Best of all, he recounts in great detail famous episodes such as the successful attacj on the British Naval Sloop in Bantry, Howes Strand and Ballycrovane Coastguard stations, the ambushes at Kilmichael and Crossbarry and the raid on Fastnet rock.
