Publication Coming Soon
After nearly two years, the book has been completed with a working title of ‘JFK in Ireland – Four Days That Enchanted A Nation’.  Long days at the National Archive of Ireland and the National Library of Ireland seem to have paid off.  Lots of you have been helpful with suggestions and kind with newspaper clippings and related books, for which I am most grateful.  I hope you like the result.  Publication date is late October/early November, the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy’s election to the White House.
