H. C. E. de Wit-Boonacker Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Rond het wel en wee van een Ierse boerenfamilie, een arbeidersgezin en een Brits aristocratisch geslacht wordt de politieke, economische en sociale geschiedenis van Ierland geschetst vanaf de hongersnood in 1840 tot de Paasopstand in 1916.

Dans le sillage de son best-seller ##Exodus## (1959) un autre grand roman documentaire sur le Proche-Orient contemporain. Aventures vraisemblables véhiculant une émotion réelle quoique souvent biaisée par un racisme latent.

Battle Cry is the riveting Marine epic by the bestselling author of such classics as Trinity and Exodus. Originally published in 1953, Leon Uris's Battle Cry is the raw and exciting story of men at war from a legendary American author. This is the story of enlisted men – Marines – at the beginning of World War II. They are a rough–and–ready tangle of guys from America's cities and farms and reservations. Led by a tough veteran sergeant, these soldiers band together to emerge as part of one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. With staggering realism and detail, we follow them into intense battles – Guadalcanal and Tarawa – and through exceptional moments of camaraderie and bravery. Battle Cry does not extol the glories of war, but proves itself to be one of the greatest war stories of all time.

The "terrible beauty" that is Ireland comes alive in this mighty epic that re-creates that Emerald's Isle's fierce struggle for independence. "Trinity" is a saga of glories and defeats, triumphs and tragedies, lived by a young Catholic rebel and the beautiful and valiant Protestant girl who defied her heritage to join him. Leon Uris has painted a masterful portrait of a beleaguered people divided by religion and wealth--impoverished Catholic peasants pitted against a Protestant aristocracy wielding power over life and death."Leon Uris is a storyteller, in a direct line from those men who sat around fires in the days before history and made the tribe more human." -- "The New York Times Book Review"
