"A fully documented and well-illustrated account of [Nicholas Delaney's] life, placing it in its historical context and shining a light into a dark chapter of British history.
"[A Rebel Hand] is remarkable for its solid research. It is a valuable resource for others investigating similar family histories." Contemporary Review
"We more often read of those who have left their own record: here the authors have pieced together Delaney's proud story of struggle, sacrifice and survival. The illustrations, particularly the Irish ones, are excellent." Irish Democrat
