Blood on the Shamrock
A Novel of Ireland's Civil War. This work of historical fiction continues the chronicle of Aran Roe O’Neill, a fictional Irishman, and his tenacious comrades, both real and imaginary. Together they reluctantly renew their struggle for Ireland’s long-denied Republic as friends, brothers and former comrades face-off in bitter Civil War. The action is triggered by the divisive treaty Dublin’s fledgling government negotiates with members of London’s parliamentary leadership. But almost overnight, the green hills of Eireann turn red again-blood red-as the bitter dregs of Anglo-Irish politics erupt into unholy civil war, the reprecussions of which are destined to sully the dream of Irish unity for years to come.
