the author wants to prove he read loads of documents and makes a point of quoting them way too often in painfully long paragraphs 🤌
and the way he cuts chapters makes you think he wanted to write a crime novel but had to do non-fiction/History instead

written by a barrister rather than a political scientist or a historian (should have paid more attention before buying it) = I’m distrustful of his sources + the structure of the writing is confusing
but maybe the content really is historically relevant? and perhaps too specific for someone who hasn’t studied Irish History to understand?
