The War of Independence 1920-22, Dan's Diary by Patricia Murphy
Football mad, twelve- year- old Dan is a trusted messenger for Ireland's rebel leader, Michael Collins. He promises his cousin Molly to never fire a gun, but after the dramatic events of 'Bloody Sunday' in Croke Park, he is pulled deeper into the struggle. Hunted by a vengeful Intelligence Officer, Molly and Dan are forced to flee Dublin. On the run, they meet Flying Columns and narrowly escape death as Cork burns. When a plot is discovered to de-rail the Treaty negotiations, Dan is sent with a vital message to London. Talent spotted by a famous English coach, he is offered a lucrative football contract that would take his family out of poverty. But as the rebel Irish leaders try to reach a deal with the British government, Dan is forced into dangerous play with his deadly enemy. Will he save the day and can the leaders bring peace to Ireland?Dr. Patricia A. Murphy is the author of Making the Connections: Women, Work & Abuse. She was awarded the John D. and Catherine T.
