From Trenches to Turmoil: The Unbelievable True Story of Andy Symington
Imagine a man who fought in three different armies across three brutal conflicts in just seven years. This is Andy Symington.
From the Battle of the Somme with the British, to fighting against them with the IRA (one of fewer than sixty WWI Irish volunteers to make that transition), then joining the Free State army to fight against the IRA in the Civil War - Symington's tale is incredible. He became Tyrone's Most Wanted Man in 1922.
His story unfolds in the "Andy Symington: Tyrone's Most Wanted Man" trilogy. The first book, "Somme Story," exposes a century-old conspiracy of mutiny, officer murder, and cover-ups in the trenches, revealing shocking military leadership incompetence. Beyond the battles, it explores the poignant human cost of war, from alcoholism and PTSD to a remarkable twist of fate over a century later...
Prepare to be captivated by a fighter who defied loyalties and lived a life stranger than fiction.
What readers are saying:
"What makes this book both compelling and unique is the way that the author skilfully and beautifully blends the harsh facts of the times and places with the extremely personal perspective of his grandfather. For me it was an emotional rollercoaster that allowed me to gain a real insight into the realities of World War One, the Battle of the Somme in particular, and the very personal insights of a young Irish soldier. The research behind the book is impressive and graphically sets the scene for the consequent horror, pathos and trench humour that unfurls as the pages turn. The obvious deep bond between author and his grandfather shines through. It is an apt reminder of the horrors of war but also of the triumph of the human spirit. A truly wonderful book."
