A trained lawyer and multi-linguist, after the failed 1848 Young Irelander rebellion he fled to New York & in 1849 he was instrumental in forming the Fenian Brotherhood and the famous 69th Infantry Regiment aka “The Fightin 69th”.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
