Their names are those that will go down in history. Their stories are of bravery that should not be forgotten. They are the men and women whose acts of heroism have reverberated throughout the world. Great Irish Heroes is an inspiring collection of true stories of Irish men and women who have changed the course of history: the Tipperary boy who became the British wartime leader's top ally; the Irish cabin boy who sank the invading Spanish fleet; the young lad from County Longford who became a true hero of the Korean War. They are all united in having carried the glory of the Irish to the four corners of the earth.
