The unwilling adventures of an American tourist in an Irish regiment of the British army

Book 1 of 4

When unassuming American tourist Daniel Wyndham arrived in Tralee, he was searching for whatever strain of Irish mysticism inspired W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory.

But instead of a Celtic Twilight he found the hard-drinking redcoats of the Royal Munster Fusiliers - the Dirty Shirts.

Ireland was on the brink of civil war, Europe was on the brink of World War One, and Wyndham was about to find out what the heroes and fighting men of Irish legend looked like in the twentieth century.

"... a fascinating tale - fun, fast and furious." - Irish Examiner (10^th April 2021)

"... a distinguished first novel ... written so well that the military historical instruction it affords is a pleasure to absorb." - The Irish Sword, Issue 131 (Summer 2021)

"Ware has an unerring eye for detail, telling his story not from the point of view of strategy and troop movements, but compassionately and humanely from that of the soldier right there in the trench." - Historical Novel Review, Issue 96 (May 2021)
