Download or read book Land War and Eviction in Derryveagh 1840 65 written by Liam Dolan and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Derryveagh Evictions, more popularly known by their misnomer, the Glenveagh Evictions, could be the story of any part of rural Ireland in the post-famine period. That they occurred on the scale that they did and at that particular point in time is at once easily understood, because, just as the corriter's potatoes were blighted, so also were the fortunes of many a landlord who then fell prey to the 'land jobbers'. The tenantry may have bewailed their plight during pre-famine days but theirs was to be the unenviable future of rack-renting, insecurity and eviction at the hands of a new aspiring landowning class that stalked the Incumbered Estates Courts seeking easy and quick fortunes. The Derryveagh Evictions were one of the more harrowing episodes of this period. -- Publisher description

Book excerpt: Though Sean O’Hanlon was a United States Navy SEAL and considered himself American above all else, he was irrevocably tied to the land of his birth. Bound to an ancient land, it’s history and it’s people by a seemingly cruel fate, Sean struggles to make sense of the legacy left to him by successive generations of O’Hanlons. He sacrificed everything to become a SEAL like his father before him. However, once the Trident was won he begins to doubt then curse the choices he has made in his life. He longs for the life he could have had with his precious Maggie. Their love transcended their own mortality, yet whether by God’s design or his own ill choices they could never be together. And so Sean is commanded to his fate, embarking on a journey that takes him from the “troubles” in Northern Ireland to the jungles of South East Asia. From sunny California beaches to the wind swept mountains of northern Iran and from the polished corridors of the Pentagon to the cool morning skies above the Iraqi desert. Like pieces of a puzzle, every turn in his life is an integral part of a prophetic equation. Trained as a Navy SEAL he is an expert in the special warefare arena. And in the flooded tunels of Cambodia, he learns first hand about the horrors of biological weapons. Ultimately, the final piece of the puzzle leads Sean back to where it all began- his native Derry. A terrorist holds the United Kingdom hostage with the threat of releasing a deadly virus. And only Sean O'Hanlon knows where to find him and how to stop him. Through it all, he strives to make his own destiny, only to succumb time and time again to an unyielding fate; the fate of Irish sons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prize-winning, “exceptionally moving” memoir of a family boat trip, an IRA bombing, and a teenager’s loss of his twin brother (The Telegraph). Christopher Ewart-Biggs Literary Award Winner and PEN/JR Ackerley Prize Nominee On an August weekend in 1979, fourteen-year-old Timothy Knatchbull joined his family on a boat trip off the shore of Mullaghmore in County Sligo, Ireland. By noon, an Irish Republican Army bomb had destroyed the boat, leaving four dead. The author survived, but his grandparents, family friend, and twin brother did not. Lord Mountbatten, his grandfather, was the target, and became one of the IRA’s most high-profile assassinations. Knatchbull and his parents were too badly injured to attend the funerals of those killed, which only intensified their profound sense of loss. Telling this story decades later, Knatchbull not only revisits these terrible events but also writes an intensely personal account of human triumph over tragedy—a story of recovery not just from physical wounds but deep emotional trauma. From a Clear Blue Sky takes place in Ireland at the height of the Troubles and gives compelling insight into that period of Irish history. But more importantly, it brings home that while calamity can strike at any moment, the human spirit is able to forgive, to heal, and to move on. “A minute by minute story of what happened that day, and what happened afterwards.” —Daily Mail “This is an extremely moving book. Beyond providing a phenomenally detailed evocation of his own family’s trauma, Knatchbull has lots of wise things to say about how we survive horrors—of all kinds—in our lives.” — Zoë Heller, author of the Booker Prize finalist Notes on a Scandal “A very poignant, clearsighted, heartbreaking but ultimately positive account.” —Hugh Bonneville, The New York Times
