A fine, clean, First Edition copy of "Clear the Way ~ A History of the 38th {Irish} Brigade 1941 - 47", by Richard Doherty, published by Irish Academic Press of Blackrock, Co. Dublin in 1993. In October 1941, Winston Churchill conceived the idea of creating an Irish Brigade in the British Army that would evoke the memory of the Irish Brigades of old. The new Irish Brigade came into being in 1942 and first saw action in Tunisia. By the end of the war, the Irish Brigade was considered the finest fighting formation in the British Army. Composed of Irishmen from all four provinces, it later included many Englishmen but never lost it's Irish identity. Hard covers, 336 pages, black and white illustrations, original dust jacket.
