The Martin book

This blog yesterday referred to Seamus Martin's new book.
What makes interesting reading is how he describes his brother, the Archbishop of Dublin. And what is of particular note is how he explains his brother's behaviour at the time of the death of his mother and father.

The book contains some inaccuracies. I am fairly certain he gets my uncle's, John D Hickey, middle name wrong. And was Bill Redmond that much of a tyrant?

For a foreign correspondent to get the name of the Federal Republic of Germany wrong seems quite odd.
