Publisher's Synopsis
The Forgotten Forgotten Facts of Irish History" captures the essence and spirit of the six century long quest by the brave and selfless Irish patriots to secure Ireland's independence. This fight for freedom is known as "The Cause". The work flows easily from Ireland's first settlers, the Milicans, through the brutal English occupation, and ending with Irish independence, and the tragedy that was the Irish Civil War. Often history is not lost, perhaps just forgotten. So has been the case with some of the history of Ireland. The author, Thomas "Tom" Sullivan, provides the reader with vivid and graphic descriptions and insights of the bloody battles and major events. This includes the early 20th Century final fight for Irish independence which are based on his first hand accounts as a young soldier fighting for The Cause.The author's manuscript was his life's work. He wanted to ensure future generations in Ireland will never forget the centuries of sacrifices made by brave Irish patriots to provide Ireland with the freedoms the nation and its people now enjoy."The Forgotten Facts of Irish History", completed by the author seven decades ago, was never published. It is now available to anyone interested in a unique insight into Irish history as told and lived by a young soldier for The Cause, Tom Sullivan, himself!
