THE IRISH...AND
HOW THEY GOT THAT WAY
is an irreverent history of the Irish through the tumultuous 20th and 21st
centuries through the eyes of Pulitzer Prize winning author, Frank McCourt
(Angela's Ashes, Tis, Teacher Man).
McCourt's razor sharp wit, coupled with his trademark bitter irony, and
his boundless love for the Irish People are all underscored by glorious
music extending all the way from the auld Irish folk ballades, through
George M. Cohan's patriotic love songs to America, World War II standards
sung in movies, USOs and foxholes all over the world, and including the
latest from contemporary Ireland's U2. |
