"History is a narrative written by the winners. This collection is history
written from the heart of an excellent poet, poems that encapsulate
vivid, deeply felt personal stories. Between the pages the reader will
find unexpected, non-official views of conflict, ultimately, a rosary of
redemption, words that needed to be said so they could taste the air."
Maria Wallace - the Jonathan Swift Awards
"Michael Whelan is a warrior poet, a rare breed nowadays. The reasons for the rarity are made
clear here: warrior values have been overwhelmed by the cruelty of mechanised warfare. Whelan
served in the Middle East and the Balkans and everywhere he went he saw the monster 'sending the
shaken to the underworld'. This is a voice that cries out to be heard."
