Reviews
"For historians, magpies novelists and anyone interested in Irish life at this time, Evan's book is an informative and often cativating read."
(Dermot Bolger, Sunday Business Post, April 2014)
"Bryce Evan's new book raises a number of important issues, which go far beyond the traditional focus within the literature on diplomacy, neutrality and security"
(Andy Bielenberg, Irish Times, July 2014)
'Ireland during the Second World War: Farewell to Plato's Cave is a rewarding if at times demanding read. It provides a valuable insight into Irish society and demonstrates that Ireland was not just the postcolonial backwater of popular memory until the boom of the 1950s. We can hope that Evans's revisionist interpretation of the Irish home front during the Emergency will lead to revisionist interpretations of other elements of Irish history during the Emergency and beyond.'
