Almost all the Irish men and women who took part in World War Two were volunteers - the greater proportion of them from the Irish Free State,a country that was officially neutral.
Using personal interviews and memoirs, Richard Doherty provides a vivid account of their experiences.This is what the war was like for those who won decorations and also for the unsung heroes,men and women, service personnel,medics,chaplains,nurses . . . A page of Irish history,largely unwritten until now.
Richard Doherty,writer and broadcaster, has published numerous articles and books on Irish militay history.He has also researched and presented several special programmes for the BBC and UTV.
