When Youth Was Mine: Growing Up in Kerry in the 1920s
Jeremiah Murphy writes a clear concise story of his life experiences giving us quite an accurate picture of the activities of the IRA in the early part of the century. He takes great care to specify the relationships between people and you can almost hear him tell the stories himself. He gives great insight into the society and the lifestyle of the people in the Cork Kerry area at that time. This would make a great gift for anyone researching the genealogy or history of the area and makes for light entertaining reading. This book was written from the heart and was only discovered in his attic by family after the Authors death which makes it much more valuable than most books.
