Ireland’s Wars: De Valera In America
As already discussed, the international dimension was vital to the Irish War of Independence. The political heads of the Republic were smart enough to know that a complete military victory over Britain was unlikely to occur, and even if it … Continue reading

Ireland’s Wars: St Patrick’s Battalion
The Mexican-American War is commonly remembered, outside of Mexico anyway, largely in relation to the American Civil War which followed, like the Spanish Civil War is often only seen in relation to World War II. Many of the famous commanders … Continue reading

World Cup 2014: Matchday Nineteen (Last 16)
Argentina 1 – 0 Switzerland It was a cagey start from both teams. The Swiss quickly showed their plan to suffocate the Argentinean star names with a mountain of defenders, while they broke down the left with Inler and Shaquri. … Continue reading

World Cup 2014: Matchday Fifteen (Group G, H)
USA 0 – 1 Germany Between the fact that a draw would suit both teams and the torrential rain, it was easy to think that this game would not be too competitive. But while neither team really killed themselves throughout, … Continue reading

World Cup 2014: Matchday Eleven (Group H, G)

Qatar 2022: Or How FIFA Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Bribery

NFBs Decisive Battles Of The World: The Wilderness/Spotsylvania Court House
Heading west for our first entry on American soil. Also, yes it’s actually two battles, but they took place close to each other and followed on from the other and had the same general strategic and tactical make-up and it’s my … Continue reading
