Book desription: Four Courts Press, 2008. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. The morale of An Garda Síochána, the new Irish national police force plummeted steeply during the early turbulent years of independence after 1922 explains, O'Brien (history, U. of Ulster), but the effort and sacrifice of police were not recognized until Walter Scott, born in Canada to Scottish parents, endowed in perpetuity a gold medal to be awarded for bravery. Having become wealthy through business, he had endowed similar medals for police in the US, many of whom were themselves Irish or of Irish descent. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
