  • The Great Famine - Ireland 1847 to 1851

    by Brian Igoe ...
    This is a Litebite Book, about 6,000 words long. The Great Famine which afflicted Ireland between 1846 and 1851 is perhaps the most studied, the most commented upon, the most reviled, and yet the most formative event in modern Irish History. Many books have been written about the famine, most recently The Famine Plot: England's Role in Ireland's Greatest Tragedy (2012) by Tim-Pat Coogan. What was ... Read more

    by Brian Igoe ...

How people lived in the times of Brian Boru, what they wore and what they ate and drank. It's the story of her roads, her railways, her canals. It's the story of her industries, her agriculture, her linen, her ship building, and her modern financial revolution. It's the ... Read more

  • Crummell, or Oliver Cromwell in Ireland

    by Brian Igoe ...
    Oliver Cromwell has been the subject of books, learned journals, less learned articles, TV and radio programmes, countless times. He has had proponents and opponents. He has been revered and reviled, but far too seldom has he been understood. Perhaps the most scholarly of recent books on the subject is that by Dr Micheál Ó Siochrú (you might find it easier to call him Michael Sugrue) who is a ... Read more

  • The O'Connell Series. Book 4. Apogee & Perigee.

    Daniel O'Connell, the Last King of Ireland, #5

    by Brian Igoe ...
    Series Book 5 - Daniel O'Connell, the Last King of Ireland
    This, the fourth book in the O'Connell Series, is also the last one. It describes what posterity has treated as the acme of his career when his Monster Meetings for Repeal attracted hundreds of thousands of people who all behaved perfectly peacefully and, exceptionally for Ireland, with absolute abstention from all liquor. That leads us on through prison to his death on his way to Rome.. ... Read more

  • The Ireland Series Book 4 - 19th century

    The Story of Ireland, #4

    by Brian Igoe ...
    Series Book 4 - The Story of Ireland
    This is the fourth in the series of LiteBite Books telling the story of Ireland. It covers the time of the Nineteenth Century, to my mind one of the most stimulating times in Ireland's history. The Great Famine was not in itself, of course, stimulating, but it's results were surprising. The title The Irish in America deserves a book in itself, one book at the very least. Here we just take a ... Read more

  • High Yield Investment Programs - Fact, or Fiction?

    by Brian Igoe ...
    I originally became interested in so-called High Yield Investment Programs, HYIP's, in 1998 when researching alternative sources of finance for investment in areas seen as a bad risk for geo-political reasons. I wrote a series of articles around that time for a finance magazine, in the hope of attracting criticism and comment – which I did! I have now put these together as a small book, and this ...
