Irish Men and Women in the Second World War

The story of Irish involvement in the Second World War is one that has been in danger of being overlooked. This book seeks to ensure that the role of Irish men and women in the forces of Great Britain, Australia, United States and other Allied nations is not forgotten. Using a variety of sources, including personal interviews, published material and archives in Britain, Ireland, the USA and Australia, the author outlines the achievements of Irish soldiers, sailors and airmen in many theatres of war.
