Blackpool to the FrontA Cork Suburb and Ireland’s Great War 1914–1918MARK CRONIN

‘Blackpool to the Front!’ was a rallying cry first heard at Étreux inAugust 1914 when the Royal Munster Fusiliers halted an entireGerman Army Corps. The experience of the hundreds who enlistedfrom the industrial Cork suburb of Blackpool mirrors the experience ofthe 200,000 Irishmen who joined up. At least sixty-nine Blackpoolmen made the ultimate sacrifice: factory workers, sons, husbands andfathers. Some enlisted to escape poverty, some to defend ‘the rights ofsmall nations’. They fought in France, Flanders, Gallipoli, Palestine andon the high seas. This is their story. 978-1848891951 • Irish History • PB • 264 pp • 198 x 128 mm • €14.99/£12.99 • April • Black & white photos

Driving the GreenAn Irish Golfing AdventureKEVIN MARKHAM

Mark Twain had it all wrong: golf is not a good walk spoiled, golf is a journey.And when Ireland provides the map it becomes an 11,000km odyssey for oneman in a camper van. Ireland’s beauty shines through but the people encounteredalong the way, the golf clubs visited and the idiosyncrasies of a 20-year-oldcamper van formed the fairways on which this story plays. The weather is aconstant distraction, helped greatly by a leaking roof, but the journey was dictatedby the location of the 350 courses. Kevin met great golfers, bad golfers, rudegolfers, golfers as old as time, passionate golfers gambling more money than mostmake in a month and golfers whose only passion was to reach the bar. Everyonehad a story, a memory to share, a joke to tell.978-1848891982 • Sport/Irish Interest • PB • 240 pp • 198 x 128 mm • €12.99/£10.99 • May
