5. A Rebel And A Traitor: A Fugitive, The Manhunt And The Birth Of The IRA
by Rory Carroll
€15.99
The new book from the author of the critically acclaimed KILLING THATCHER An extraordinary story that explores a pivotal moment in Anglo-Irish history that has implications for Europe and the wider world A narrative non-fiction that reads like a novel by an author at the top of his game Uses first class research to crate a page-turning history with a vast array of characters KILLING THATCHER was hailed as ‘non-fiction that reads like a first class thriller’ by Jonathan Freedland – and Rory’s new book promises to be a similarly exciting work of propulsive historical non-fiction From the master storyteller behind 2023’s critically acclaimed KILLING THATCHER A Rebel and a Traitor is the story of a rogue imperial consul who sought to forge a new nation in the middle of a war – and the mercurial spy chief who sought to destroy him by any means. The rogue consul was Sir Roger Casement, a decorated diplomat who turned his back on the British empire and instead joined the rising Irish cause at the turn of the 20th century. At the book’s centre is the manhunt for Casement led by intelligence officer Reginald ‘Blinker’ Hall, the legendary British spy chief who pioneered codebreaking, early mass surveillance and media manipulation. As he did for the critically acclaimed Killing Thatcher, master storyteller Rory Carroll has combed diaries, letters, police reports, memoirs, court transcripts, secret service archives and declassified government files in the US, Britain, Ireland and Germany to create a page-turning history, and a story that still echoes through Anglo-Irish relations. A Rebel and a Traitor raises profound questions about honour, courage and the price of patriotism. Ideal for readers who… love narrative non-fiction that reads like a thriller, with a manhunt at its core are fascinated by Anglo-Irish history and the figures who shaped (and shattered) empires want an immersive story of espionage, surveillance, propaganda, and early intelligence warfare enjoy character-rich history built from diaries, letters, archives, and court records like books that probe big moral questions about honour, courage, loyalty, and the cost of patriotism

19. We Need to Talk About Roy: The Keaneification of Modern Ireland
by Dave Hannigan
€16.99
No Irish sportsperson has had more written and said about him. None has had more of substance to say for himself. Across nearly four tumultuous decades, from callow teen prospect to grey bearded influencer, Roy Keane has transcended sport, redefined the parameters of fame, and captivated the nation. Our hopes, dreams and sometimes our despair have been wrapped up in him, his exploits and outbursts. Oscillating between national treasure and national argument, he put the manic in talismanic, bestriding Lansdowne Road one minute, getting booed there the next. If the sporting heroes of every era offer a window into a society, We Need to Talk About Roy is a fascinating portrait of who and what we were in the age of Keane, showcasing our vices and virtues, our fortunes and foibles. The best of us, the worst of us. Drink. Religion. United. Begrudgery. The Celtic Tiger. Tabloidization. Saipan. Touching on all the major themes and teams, this remarkable book is a refreshing and entertaining look at how the life and times of our greatest footballer is the story of modern Ireland itself. His progress and pitfalls, revolutions and evolution uniquely intertwined with those of the country that made him. He is of Ireland and Ireland is of him. Ideal for readers who… want a smart, funny, culturally sharp look at Roy Keane as more than a footballer love Irish sports writing that doubles as a portrait of the nation and its changing moods are interested in the big Irish touchstones of the era—Saipan, the Celtic Tiger, tabloidization, and “begrudgery” enjoy biographies that explore fame, identity, and public perception as much as results on the pitch want a highly readable, entertainment-packed lens on modern Ireland through its most polarising sporting icon

33. The Place That Has Never Been Wounded
by Niall Breslin
€16.99
In a world often marked by chaos and uncertainty, it's easy to feel unmoored, as if the ground beneath you is always shifting. Yet, just as Polaris - the North Star - has guided travelers for centuries, this book is here to serve as your compass: a steady reminder that even when the way forward seems unclear, a path always exists. Drawing on the principles of mindfulness and Niall Breslin's sensitive wisdom, it offers practical ways to reconnect with your inner stillness and meet life's challenges with patience and clarity. This isn't about fixing yourself or chasing perfection; it's about rediscovering the steady core within. The journey inward is rarely straightforward-it's uneven and winding, demanding flexibility and self-compassion. But the principles you'll find here can anchor you in turbulent times, guide you back when you drift, and help you make sense of life's heaviest moments. Deeply personal and transformational, this is not a book of rigid rules or quick fixes. Instead, it invites you to slow down, release what no longer serves you, and trust the quiet wisdom that's always been within. It reminds you that everything you need to endure, heal, and move forward is already inside you. By embracing these principles, you'll reconnect with your unshaken self - the part that has never been wounded.- and find your way home.

72. Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!
by Liza Minnelli
€17.99
Ideal for readers who: Love entertainment memoirs told with sparkle, wit and hard-won perspective. Are fascinated by a life lived across stage, screen and musical legend. Want old Hollywood, Broadway and family legacy brought vividly to life. Prefer autobiographies full of personality, candour and theatrical flair. Fasten your seatbelts, darlings, it's been one helluva ride. Liza Minnelli is one of the most iconic and enduring figures in entertainment history. Now, in her first and only memoir, Liza tells her story in her own words - and what a story it is. Born into Hollywood royalty, Liza was the daughter of legendary director Vincente Minnelli and the incomparable Judy Garland - and yet her beloved Mama's brilliance was matched by deep personal battles, making her both an inspiration and, at times, a source of fear. In this deeply candid memoir, Liza pulls back the curtain on her extraordinary life, from her meteoric rise to Broadway and Hollywood stardom to the whirlwind of high-profile marriages and scandalous affairs, as well as the private heartbreaks of multiple miscarriages and lifelong struggle with Substance Use Disorder. She relives the liberated nights at Studio 54, the activism and friendships that shaped her - including the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, Halston, Mary J. Blige, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana - and the fearless way she defied conventions, embracing sexual fluidity long before it was part of the public conversation. But above all, as she turns 80 years old, Liza is ready to reclaim her truth, dispelling the tabloid myths and setting the record straight with stories she's never shared before. Raw, strong, sexy, hilarious and unapologetically honest, this is a defiant celebration of self-belief, survival and stardust - proving once and for all why Liza remains one of the most captivating performers the world has ever known. Wilkommen to the world of Liza.
