Reviews

'Ernie O'Malley's description of the destruction of the Four Courts as 'duelling orchestras of crashing stone and singing flame' was poetic, but this book does justice to the range of environmental destruction behind such lyricism.' - Diarmaid Ferriter, The Irish Times, January 2023; 'Enduring Ruin is a welcome study in that it departs from the normal discussions around either politics or the metrics of death and violence in quantifying revolutionary activity in Ireland from 1916 to 1923.' - Westmeath Examiner, December 2022.; ‘The first serious examination of the environmental impact of the revolution that paves the way for other works on this important & evolving topic within the ever-evolving new history of the revolution.’ - Marie Coleman, Irish Literary Supplement 43:2, Spring 2024.; ‘Enduring Ruin is a good read and a welcome innovation in the practice of Irish historiography, integrating newly diverse sources into a broader understanding of the island as a series of disturbed landscapes, some of which are placed in richer context than others.’ - Nicholas Allen, H-Environment, October 2023.
