Not price clipped (25s), previous owner's inscription to ffep, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 182pp. Irish construction workers in post war Britain are celebrated in song and story. Donall Peadar MacAmhlaigh (1926-89), kept a diary as he worked the sites, danced in Irish halls, drank in Irish pubs and lived the life of the roving Irish navvy. Work was hard, dirty and dangerous, followed by pints in the Admiral Rodney, the Shamrock, the Cattle Market Tavern and others. Living conditions were basic at best. This vivid picture of an Irish navvy's life in England in the 1950s mirrors that of an entire generation who left Ireland without education or hope. Days without food or work, the hardships of work camps, lonesome partings after trips home, periods of intense isolation and bitter reflection were all part of the experience. MacAmhlaigh later became a writer and prolific journalist, producing a number of novels and short stories as well as social history. Quite a scarce book.
