From Bantry Bay to Leitrim - A Journey in Search of O'Sullivan Beare

Peter Somerville-Large retraces the epic 1603 journey across Ireland of Donal Cam O'Sullivan Beare and his supporters during the Nine Years’ War against the English – known as O'Sullivan's March.

The account of his journey which began with 1,000 followers and ended with just 35 will interest readers everywhere, whether they are already familiar with the region or content to travel in spirit. Moreover, Somerville-Large’s keen eye and ear for the unusual make this a gripping account of a charismatic leader from beginning to end.

Now re-issued for a new generation of readers with a beautiful new cover.
