'Once we beat England, the players knew they had the chance to be part of something really special. They knew that when Scotland came to town, [the Triple Crown] was there for the taking. We'd be playing for the full bag of chips' - Eddie O' Sullivan. This is the definitive account of Ireland's first 'trophy' in 19 years, with analysis and anecdotes from the players and coaches, including the likes of Clive Woodward and Lawrence Dallaglio, on Ireland's historic victory over the world champions at Twickenham. O'Reilly also delves into the six previous Triple Crowns, revealing how, on the night of their decisive victory over Wales, three of the 1948 team spent a few hours under lock and key.

Crowning the Customer

In June 1631, pirates from Algiers and armed troops of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, stormed ashore at the little harbour village of Baltimore in West Cork. They captured almost all the villagers and bore them away to a life of slavery in North Africa. Some prisoners were destined to live out their days as galley slaves, while others would spend long years in the seclusion of the harem or within the walls of the Sultan's palace. Only two of them ever saw Ireland again. Here is the remarkable tale of a harrowing historical event known as 'The Sack of Baltimore'.

Biographies

Sean Boyne, an expert on defence and arms trafficking gives us a facinating but disturbing insight into the shadowy world of arms dealers, spies and moles. With interviews with the dealers, agents and traffickers involved in the movement of huge quantities of arms into Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s, Sean Boyle exposes many of the little-known aspects of this part of Irish history, such as the IRA's connections to the KGB and Libya. Fully illustrated, with high quality photographs and graphs throughout, "Gunrunners" lays bare the hidden world of some of the most dangerous people who played a part in this often misunderstood part of Irish history.
