Originally published in 1964, this is Donall MacAmhlaigh's own story as a navvy or unskilled workman in post World War II England. Here is backbreaking, blister-making work, followed by pints of the black stuff in the Admiral Rodney and many other pubs. Workless and foodless days, the hardships of work camps, lonesome partings after trips home, periods of intense isolation and occasional bitterness-this is an honest account of how the average Irish labourer worked and lived in and contributed to the country of the ancient enemy. Celebrated in song as 'McAlpine's Fusiliers' This is the story of the thousands of unskilled labourors who left Ireland without hope or education, Days without food or work, the hardships of work camps, lonesome partings after trips home, periods of intensive isolation and bitter reflection, were all part of the experience.

Dónall Peadar Mac Amhlaigh (10 December 1926 27 January 1989) was an Irish writer. He was born on the Cappagh Road between Galway and the nearby village of Bearna and in 1940 moved with his family to Kilkenny. He left school at 15 to go out to work in a woollen mill and later on farms and in hotels in the West of Ireland. In 1947 he joined the Irish-speaking regiment of the Irish Army. When he left it in 1951 he faced the prospect of unemployment in Ireland. He travelled to England to work as an unskilled labourer. He later became a writer, producing a number of novels and short stories as well as social history. His first book was Dialann Deoraí, an account of his life as a building worker in England. It was an immediate best-seller and was published in an English translation by the poet Valentin Iremonger (An Irish Navvy: The Diary of an Exile, 1964). He died in 1989 in Northampton. 53 volumes of his diaries and literary notebooks from 1950 - 1988 are held in the National Library of Ireland. (Wikipedia). ISBN 1903464366 9781903464366 [IE]
