THE GREEN FLAG stands as the most comprehensive and illuminating history of Irish Nationalism yet published. For many years available as three separate volumes (THE MOST DISTRESSFUL COUNTRY, THE BOLD FENIAN MEN and OURSELVES ALONE), this outstanding history is now available as a single volume.

A History of Irish Nationalism

The Green Flag

A Crowd Is Not Company

Friedrich Deich

“Who can tell exactly where the difference lies between those of us who imagine ourselves sane and those we call insane?” As Robert Vossmenge tries to practice psychiatry in Germany in the early 1930s, he finds himself at odds with his profession as it increasingly falls under the influence of the Nazi regime with its aim to rid German society of those it considers undesirables. Vossmenge tries to stay out of trouble by keeping a low profile. Through his friendship with a Lutheran pastor, he begins to question his assumptions about what constitutes sanity in a world where the people in charge seem to be insane. Though he quietly wages a one-man campaign against the cruelty of the military mindset while serving as a Luftwaffe doctor, Vossmenge is ultimately forced to choose between survival and standing for his beliefs. The Sanity Inspectors is a gripping account of the challenge of trying to be a good man in the midst of evil.

Die Verratenen Söhne. The Great Betrayal. Translated by Robert Kee

The way we see things now is not always how they looked at the time. Robert Kee explores life in the calm before the storm of 1939. Did the people of Britain see war coming? Or did the world change overnight, from stability to deadly conflict?

The World We Left Behind

1939

Journalist and broadcaster Robert Kee was an RAF bomber pilot in the Second World War. When his plane was shot down over Nazi-occupied Holland, he was captured and spent three years and three months in a German POW camp. From the beginning he was intent on escape. After several false starts, he finally made it. First published in 1947 as a novel, but now revealed to be an autobiography, A Crowd Is Not Company recounts Kee's experiences as a prisoner of war and describes in compelling detail his desperate journey across Poland - a journey that meant running the gauntlet of Nazism.
