Robert Kee

[Pilrig]

Just learned that he died yesterday. His trilogy The Green Flag is an essential read for anyone wanting to understand the history of Ireland and the roots of the Troubles. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Green-Flag-History-Nationalism/dp/0140291652/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Nae sign of him yet. Maybe he's Robert Kee?

 

[1875]

Jimmy Burns, a palomine and writer of the legendary tome, Barca - A peoples passion and more recently La Roja, about Spanish football, writes warmly of Robert Kee in his blog here.......

If anyone wants a look at 'A Crowd is Not Company' by Robert Kee, then let me know.

About his experience as a PoW during WW2.

'Trial & error' about the Guildford pub bombings is something else by Kee worth reading.
