The Number 1 Bestseller - The definitive history of the bank that brought Ireland to ruin As late as 2007, Anglo Irish Bank was a darling of the markets, internationally recognized as one of the fastest growing financial institutions in the world. By 2008, it was bust. The Irish government's hopeless attempts to save Anglo have led the state to ruin - culminating in a punitive IMF bailout in late 2010 and threatening the future of the euro. Now, for the first time, the full story of the bank the Sunday Times described as 'a building society on crack' is being told - by the journalist who has led the way in coverage of Anglo and its many secrets. Drawing on his unmatched sources in and around Anglo, Simon Carswell of the Irish Times shows how the business model that brought Anglo twenty years of spectacular growth was also at the heart of its - and Ireland's - downfall. He paints a vivid and disturbing picture of life inside Anglo - the credit committee meetings, the lightning-quick negotiations with property developers, the culture of lavish entertainment - and of the men who presided over its dizzying rise and fall: Sean FitzPatrick, David Drumm, Willie McAteer and many others. This is not only the first full account of the Anglo disaster; it will also be the definitive one.

This is the story of 500 Irish-American men and Irish men who fought the British in the Anglo-Boer war.

This is an amazing story of one of the great Anglo-Irish dynasties that ruled Ireland for centuries. The White Knights, chiefs of the Clangibbon, took possession of Mitchelstown, in Cork, after 1340. The area included some of the most fertile land in Ireland which was home to Kings, barons, and earls. The White Knights had significant links with Napoleon, George IV, and Queen Charlotte, while Mary Wollstonecraft, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Percy Bysshe and Mary Shelley, and George Bernard Shaw were intimate friends. All this ended in 1922 when the family home, Mitchelson, the largest neo-Gothic Castle in the country, was looted and burned to the ground by Republican Civil War forces. Bill Power lives in Ireland where he works as a journalist.

This book is the first to make extensive use of unpublished manuscripts to show how a period of English literature affected W.B.Yeats's development as a poet. Besides presenting a factual account of his acquaintance with English Renaissance writers based on evidence from his library and elsewhere, the study examines his response to numerous minor figures and several major ones - including Spenser, Jonson, Shakespeare, Donne and Milton.

Explores the Irish version of colonial and postcolonial literature, the ascendency novel, from Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent (1800) through contemporary reinventions of the form. Argues that these fictional representations provide a gaze into a hybrid colonial group that distanced itself from the self-aggrandizement of the revivalists, and examines how ascendancy women transformed conventions of an English domestic genre into political fiction.

Reaching as far back in genealogical records as the second century AD, this weighty edition of Irish and Anglo-Irish pedigrees contains detailed family histories and a thirty-seven subject appendix with footnotes full of intriguing facts and anecdotes about the exploits of the earliest recorded natives of Ireland. The Irish ancestries of Allens, Arundells, Butlers, Crawfords, Fitzpatricks, Gladstones, Harts, O’Briens, O’Rourkes, O’Tooles, Parsons, Parnells, Sweneys, Warrens and many others have been collected from over fifty references, alphabetically arranged, and include (when applicable), a description of the family coat of arms. As the subtitle, “When Cromwell Came to Ireland,” suggests, the appendix deals with documents related to that most tragic time in Irish history including, Regicides of Charles I; Persons Transplanted in Ireland in 1653 and 1654; Inrolments [sic] of the Certificates for Adventurers, Soldiers, etc., in Ireland, in the Commonwealth Period; and, Purch

The extraordinary story of the fight between two unequal forces, which ended in the withdrawal of the British from 26 countries.

In this study of Anglo-Norman intervention in Ireland during the reign of Henry II (1154-89), Flanagan explores the origins of the political link between Ireland and the English crown. She focuses on the reasons why Diarmait Mac Murchada, the exiled king of Leinster, hired Anglo-Norman mercenaries to help him regain his kingdom; why Anglo-Norman settlers from South Wales accepted his offer of employment in Ireland; and why this in turn provoked a reaction from King Henry II, who intervened in person in Ireland in 1171-72. Drawing on evidence from both 12th-century Irish and Anglo-Norman sources, Flanagan bridges the artificial division between the pre-Norman and post-Norman periods in Ireland.

The Anglo-Irish oligarchy gave Ireland much of her modern culture and architecture--but also left a legacy that has festered violently. A highly original, insightful look at the "Troubles" traces the rise and sudden disappearance of this elite group that so dominated Irish life from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. ".pure pleasure.the most entertaining and fascinating book I have read for a long time."--Molly Keane.

Providing essays, sources with questions and worked answers, together with background to each topic within Irish history, Nick Pelling provides a good foundational text for the study of Anglo-Irish relations. For centuries the relationship between Ireland and England has been difficult. Anglo-Irish Relations, 1798–1922 explores the tempestuous events from Wolfe Tone's failed rising to Michael Collins's arguably more successful effort, culminating in the controversial Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921. Classic struggles between key figures, such as O'Connell and Peel, Parnell and Gladstone, and Lloyd George and Michael Collins, are discussed and analyzed. The deeper issues about the nature of British Imperial rule and the diversity of Irish nationalism are also examined, highlighting the historiographical debate surrounding the so-called 'revisionist' view.

Located on a prominent site overlooking Galway Bay in the west of Ireland, Tyrone House was once one of the countrys finest Georgian mansions. Dating from the 1770s, the building was home to generations of the French and St George families, a powerful symbol of their wealth and power. The interior of the house was lavishly decorated and furnished, beginning with the entrance hall, dominated by a life-size marble statue of Lord St George. But despite their advantages, over the course of the nineteenth century, the family went into irreversible decline and eventually forsook their great residence, which was destroyed by fire in 1920. This book tells the story of the rise and fall of the St Georges and their fate, embodied in what became of Tyrone House, which is today a little more than a gaunt ruin.

Anglo-Irish relations in the 20th century can be described as being close but tortuous. This paradox is fused with Ireland's geographical: both isolation from Europe and proximity to the main island of the British archipelago. Using a geopolitical analysis, based on the theories of Sir Halford MacKinder, this text offers an understanding of the strategic imperatives that have driven British policy throughout the events of the 20th century. It presents a different perspective on the reality of Irish neutrality, and the importance of Northern Ireland in the Battle of the Atlantic during the Second World War. Furthermore, using US archival material, it gives an insight into Ireland's geopolitical importance in the First World War, and her contribution to victory against the German U-boats.

The name John O'Hart is associated with the magnum opus of Irish genealogy, Irish Pedigrees: The Origin and Stem of the Irish Nation, published originally in 1892 and available today as a two-volume reprint from Genealogical Publishing Company. Irish Pedigrees is a vast compendium of source materials and family histories pertaining to Irish and Anglo-Irish families, many of them brought down from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. The work at hand, The Irish and Anglo-Irish Landed Gentry, was assembled by O'Hart to supplement Irish Pedigrees and can be looked upon as the missing third volume. It consists, in part, of 257 additional genealogies of Anglo-Irish and Anglo-Norman families that settled in Ireland following the English invasion. Notwithstanding the importance of the pedigrees, which fill out the first 225 and the final 75 pages of the text, the Appendix to the volume may take on ever greater importance. Comprising half of the volume, the Appendix consists largely of abstracts of primary sources that were destroyed in the Public Record Office fire of 1922. Among the most important records "preserved" by O'Hart are lists of Forfeiting Proprietors in Ireland, arranged by county and thereunder by barony; Persons Transplanted in Ireland, arranged by county; Irishmen who served in the Spanish Netherlands during the exile of Charles II; a number of lists relating to the seventeenth-century land settlements in Ireland, including Names of Persons in the [Land] Grants, persons restored to their former estates, Grantees and Purchasers of Estates forfeited in Ireland under the Williamite Confiscations; and lists of the Irish Brigades serving in France and America in the 18th and 19th centuries. In all, this prodigious work contains more than 22,000 references to surnames found in the volume, each of which is easily found in the index at the back.
