⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Reflections of an Irish Grandson" takes readers on a heartfelt journey through family memory, Irish history, and the lasting bonds of heritage, blending personal stories with vivid reflections on Ireland’s past...

This history is new to me, well not totally new, but the nuances are & the hard facts. My Grandfather was there, but strangely it wasn’t taught in depth at my school in Liverpool. So I went down a rabbit hole… looking forward to getting my hands on the actual book.

"The Rising had failed utterly. The British, though, soon made a fateful miscalculation."
