Shadow Warriors
Author: Paul O'Brien
Publisher: Mercier Press Ltd
ISBN: 1781177635
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
In the spring of 1980, the Irish Department of Defence sanctioned the establishment of a new unit within the Irish Defence Forces and the Irish Army Ranger Wing (ARW) came into being. In the decades that followed, its soldiers have been deployed on active service at home and abroad, generally without the knowledge of the wider public. The ARW is made up of seasoned men from across the island, who are selected through tough competition. Only the best of the best make it through and are trained in an extraordinary range of specialist skills. Being one of these elite operators takes more than simply being a skilled soldier – it means believing you are the best. Shadow Warriors tells the story behind the creation of the ARW, from its origins in specialist counter-terrorism training in the late 1960s and the preparation of small unconventional units in the 1970s to the formation of the ARW itself in 1980 and its subsequent history. The first and only authoritative account in the public domain of this specialist unit, authors Paul O'Brien and Sergeant Wayne Fitzgerald have been granted access to the closed and clandestine world of Ireland's Special Forces, who train hard, fight harder and face unconventional types of warfare, yet prefer to stay out of the limelight.

Mrs Cowan's Boy

Publisher: Gill & Macmillan Ltd
ISBN: 0717183424
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
When Rory Cowan stepped down from his role in Mrs Brown's Boys after 15 years, it made national headlines. Here, in his own unique voice, he tells his story – with a star turn from his greatest cheerleader, his mum Esther – and how the confidence she gave him in his early years set him on the path from mischievous teenager to national treasure. Rory's tales of growing up in 1970s Dublin are laugh-out-loud funny, but there is also sadness, as he describes his mother's dementia and the particular pain of gradually losing a loved one to such a cruel disease. A magical and moving account of a mother-and-son bond, and the unexpected progression from record-shop manager to comedy icon, Mrs Cowan's Boy is told with all the humour and warmth you'd expect from one of Ireland's best-loved stars.
