Address: Dublin

Rory Carroll is the author of A Rebel and a Traitor: a Fugitive, the Manhunt and the Birth of the IRA, the true story of a rogue imperial knight, a British spy chief and Ireland's 1916 rebellion. His previous books are Killing Thatcher (US title: There Will Be Fire) and Comandante: Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. Born in Dublin, Carroll is a graduate of Blackrock College, Trinity College and Dublin City University. He began his career at The Irish News in Belfast, working as a reporter and diarist from 1995 to 1997, when he was named young journalist of the year in Northern Ireland's media awards. From 1999, he was deployed by The Guardian as a foreign correspondent in Yemen and Serbia for the aftermath of the Kosovo war. His report from Qalaye Niazi, where a wedding party was bombed by US planes, fuelled criticism of the Pentagon's air campaign. He reported on the UK's first overseas combat deployment since the first Gulf War. Trinity awarded him an award as one of ten high-achieving alumni at the 2023 alumni awards. Source: Wikipedia.org

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
