This review is from: On the One Road: Political Unrest in Kildare 1913-1994 (Paperback)

James Durney has given us an interesting examination of the Irish situation from the local perspective of the County Kildare. While one might not envision Kildare as a hotbed of Republican activity- like Cork, Dublin, Armagh, Derry- it gave some heroes to the struggle for Irish independence and, of course, is the home to the Curragh, the site of the famous Curragh mutiny in 1914 and the later internment of Republican political prisioners. While adding to our knowledge of the Republican movement, On The One Road needs a good editor. The text wanders at times and could use greater focus.
