Based on first-hand accounts of the First World War, The Glorious Madness brings to life the hopes, fears, and ambitions that defined Ireland's lost generation. From the dramatic story of the nuns of Ypres and their escape to Ireland to found Kylemore Abbey, to the multiple-escapist who became the one-legged nemesis of Michael Collins, and the five tragic, rugby-loving pals from the same Dublin team massacred at Gallipoli, these stories are by turns poignant, whimsical, and touching. This is history as it should be - free-wheeling and finely tuned to the rhythms of the human heart.
