Cromwell - Conquering The Emerald Isle
Cromwell - Conquering The Emerald Isle
When the Irish Royalists rose up against English rule, Oliver Cromwell invaded Ireland to quash the rebellion. Cromwell was only in Ireland for 40 weeks, but his bloody, brutal campaign cast a long ugly shadow. He felt justified in ordering the massacre of nearly 3,500 soldiers and civilians because they continued to defend the city of Drogheda after the walls had been breached. With ruthless thunder, he eventually brought Ireland to its knees, conquering the nation for the English Crown.

James Joyce
James Joyce
Author of Dubliners, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, James Joyce was one of the greatest and most controversial figures of the 20th century. His works were so graphic in detail, they were banned as obscene and he was prosecuted for indecency. Every friendship he made destroyed by his contempt for others and every relationship consumed by jealousy. A voyeur and pornographer, Joyce was exiled and condemned from his native Ireland as a satanic blasphemer. But to others James Joyce was a tormented genius.
