The Garda Siochana by Gregory Allen
The author has the great advantage of having been a surviving member of the Gardai. The insights that such service can alone provide complement the original and impressive research that underpins his book. The book deals with recruitment, living and working conditions, the growth and increasing sophistication of crime, and the vital role that the Gardai have played as an unarmed, disciplined and completely legitimate defender of public order.
Gregory Allen is a former serving member of the Gardai Siochana, which he joined in 1947. He spent many years researching the history of the force and is well known as a broadcaster and writer on the subject. As archivist at Garda Headquarters, he was appointed Curator of the Garda Museum on its foundation.
