'Mark O'Brien is an academic at Dublin City University. This book is well researched and welcome for reminding us of the evils of the State's past.'
Eamon Dunphy is a journalist, broadcaster and podcaster, The Irish Times May 2017

'O'Brien's work is descriptive. Rows within and between journalist organisations are detailed. Major sto ries and how they were covered or missed are chronicled comprehensively...This book is welcome. It is well written and offers students a great introduction to Ireland and its journal ism and suggests a wealth of ideas for further research.'
Michael Foley, Journalism Education Volume 6, number 2 -- .
