Introduction
Ballybane Library is delighted to present a comprehensive list, compiled by its staff, of the books held in its military history collection. This collection is comprised of over 450 books and covers military history from Caesar’s Battle for Gaul to present-day battles in Afghanistan. The collection includes a range of books which explore warfare, weaponry, military commanders, particular battles, as well as all major wars. Conflicts and wars in Afghanistan, Vietnam, the Falklands, the American Civil war and the Congo are all represented. The selection has a particularly strong emphasis on books published in Ireland which relate specifically to Irish military and naval history and heritage. This includes books on Irish Regiments and Irish Brigades and the history of Irish soldiers who served in foreign armies. There is a comprehensive number of books outlining personal accounts of Irish soldiers who served abroad either in battle or on peace keeping duties. Included are a number of books relating to Galway and its war connections. We hope readers find this a useful catalogue. Úna Kelly Senior Library Assistant 2015
