The Backward Glance: A Miscellany of Irish History, Politics & Culture is a rare bird. It deals with topics of Irish political and cultural history which have only received sparse and spasmodic attention.
Kevin Haddick Flynn writes on Irish historical and political subjects, and is the author of Sarsfield and the Jacobites and Orangeism: A Historical Profile. He has conducted research in various libraries and archives in Ireland, London, The Hague and Paris. His work has appeared in History Today and History Ireland.
