'Sometimes you just have to do the right thing'

Review of Harry Browne's book 'Hammered by the Irish'

A somewhat delayed review of HB's book - a terrific read and interesting account of one of the most successful NVDAs in Ireland.

Harry Browne knows how to wield a pen, for sure. Not much point in repeating here what is said in the review below but this book really deserves more notice than it has had so far. Probably many Indymedia readers will have read it by now but if not you have a real treat in store.
