When I was Your Age (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781483493381)

This book is a recollection of stories, happenings and life lessons while growing up in rural Ireland during and after World War 2. At that time Ireland was somewhat isolated from Western Europe because of its neutral status during the war and was struggling to define itself as an independent nation, free from the clutches of colonialism. Food and gasoline were rationed and Ireland was one of the poorest countries in Europe. In this setting the author humorously shares his stories while growing up before during and after the introduction of telecommunications, electricity and television. The author also does an excellent job tracing his ancestors using his knowledge of genealogy.
