The transformation from regular warfare to the strategy of a war of attrition within urban centers was an enormous development within the history of Irish Fenianism Having its origins in the complex world of IrishAmerican politics the Fenian dynamite campaign in Victorian Britain was undertaken between 1881 and 1885 and was largely a response to the failures of Fenianism in the previous decade Involving many wellknown Fenians such as Jeremiah ODonovan Rossa Thomas James Clarke and Denis Deasy who died in British custody following arrest for his role in the bombings the campaign was as innovative as it was modern and represented an increasing predilection for clockwork mechanisms on explosive devices As author Shane Kenna describes this was the first time in history the bomber did not need to be close to his bomb before detonation but could set it deposit the explosive in an urban center and have ample time to escape before detonation This book examines the history of those dramatic events and also the story of how the British state responded to an adversary fighting a war in the shadows Irish bombings in Victorian Britain would capture world headlines and the public imagination The campaign left behind a significant legacy for the first time in British history the Irish question would not be confined to Ireland but would affect British urban centers and sensibilities reaching and touching not only the political elite but the very people themselves

A new edition of the sequel to the phenomenally successful Ill Met by Moonlight Few escapades of the Second World War have captured the public s imagination more than the successful abduction of German General Kreipe from enemyoccupied Crete in 1944 It was an operation instigated and daringly executed by two British SOE officers Patrick Leigh Fermor and William Billy Stanley Moss The war didn t stop for Billy Moss after this operation though and it is his continuing story that is told here He reflects movingly on what it means to fight and deal in death how the success of operations behind enemy lines in a foreign country is dependent on the goodwill of local inhabitants and surprisingly on moments of high humour that punctuate the turmoil of war War of Shadows is a book in three parts each displaying differing aspects of World War II and its eventual conclusion and all told with that telltale blend of poignancy and humour so characteristic of the time
