The following book cover design brief was submitted to ‘Mercier Press’ as a possible design for their title ‘Fighting for the Cause’, a ‘Local Irish History’ release which tells ‘the story of each of the unsung heroes from Kerry who fought in 1916, and during the War of Independence and Civil War (1916–23) for the ideal of an independent Irish republic of 32 counties. It provides an intriguing social history of county Kerry and a snapshot of life in Ireland during this time.”
