Title: 'The Battle of Aughrim 1691' Author: Mike McNally Artist: Seán Ó Brogáin Publisher:The History press ISBN: 9780752446875 Contents: 224pp,Illustrated with battle maps, colour photo's and commissioned artwork (Colour & BW). Informative read with a blow by blow account that clarifies the actual battle and explains the close call it really was. It highlights the treachery of Luttrell and illuminates the rising military prowess of Patrick Sarsfiled as the defacto Commander subsequent to St.Ruth's untimely death. This book goes some way to explaining the reason for the eventual bitter victory and defeat of Irelands last hope. Many Regards Thomas Brogan. email: brogan-t@email.ulster.ac.uk
