The May-June issue of History Ireland is out! Complete with an eye-catching front cover relating to Patrick Geoghegan’s exploration of the Irish links with the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Centenaries aren’t the only anniversaries; there are also bi-centenaries, and that of the most important battle of nineteenth-century Europe falls this year. But that’s not all that can be found in the latest issue; amongst other things, there is:
- Padraig Lenihan on a plot to kill Oliver Cromwell
- Lar Joye on the Lusitania
- Gillian O’Brien on the ‘diabolical’ murder of Patrick Cronin in Chicago in 1889
- Fiona Fitzsimons on tracing your family history in the Registry of deeds
- C.J. Woods on big days out to Bodenstown, 1872-1922
- Eve Morrison on the Bureau of Military History and the Boston College project
And much more besides, plus the usual winning mix of letters, reviews, notices and a crossword. Enjoy!
