_____________________
1999 - Conferred with a Master of Arts (Hons) Degree in History by the National University of Ireland, Cork. I'm the author of a dozen books (mostly on historical topics) and have edited several others. My research interests include 19th and early 20th century Ireland, especially the Landed Ascendancy and politics; the Napoleonic Wars; the two World Wars, particularly as they relate to Irish involvements.
I have a university certificate in Irish archaeology and am a qualified tour guide. I give talks on a wide variety of history and photography topics. One of my minor claims to fame is that I was interviewed for the Russian newspaper 'Pravda' in 1990 (it was at that time the biggest newspaper in the world).
A few short pieces of my writing and lectures can be read under 'Bill's Blog'.
