I recently finished reading a Cromwell biography by John Buchan.Quite interesting bloke.Suggest reading it as it explains the Irish situation and massacre in detail.If you have difficulty finding the book,if you PM me I'll post it to you

Amandistan. Yes. Sullivan has a longtime interest about that period in history but he also lived in Ireland for a short time and has expressed passionate opinions about the Troubles. I suspect that as young lads they chose the name for its power, force. It works for that but he has skirted the subject in front of Irish audiences. In any case that was almost 40 years ago. And people, including Justin, are complicated. And contradictory.
