Print: $8.60 Download: $4.31 This is the story of Ireland – the progress of the ancient Irish to the modern European State. Not just her History, but her story. Her Music and Dance, her Poetry and Theatre, her ancient Brehon laws. How people lived in the times of Brian Boru, what they wore and what they ate and drank. It’s the story of her roads, her railways, her canals. It’s the story of her industries, her agriculture, her linen, her ship building, and her modern financial revolution. It’s the story of the Irish in America, and the trials and tribulations they faced to get there. But it’s also her history, the story of her peoples, of the Famine and the wars, of the Celts and the Norman invaders and how they blended together and eventually made that unique people with music in their souls and business in their brains, the Irish.

Print: $10.33 Download: $5.60 Everyone today knows where Zimbabwe is, and has heard of the hyper-inflation there and the trials and tribulations of the people, and Robert Mugabe. This is the story of the six hundred years or so which have culminated in the Republic of Zimbabwe today, 2008. In Part 1 entitled “Zambezia” covering the period 1390 AD to 1890, I have written what I think might have happened. Part 2, entitled “Rhodesia”, relates events which by and large did happen; while the final part, Part 3, “Zimbabwe”, which takes us up to the end of the last millennium and beyond,is another story, but my own. Memoirs, really. I was in what may have been a unique position in that I was well acquainted and well connected with the conservative business establishment, but also very close to the corridors of political power from Independence in 1980 on. So this a story book, with three separate but linked stories which together make – a history?
