Parent and Teacher Empowerment that helps Children succeed.......2003-07-20

I have worked with J. Brien O'Callaghan and seen him implement his model in the CT. School Systems. His step by step accountability based approach are very helpful and have helped many students succeed. This model works best with oppositionally defiant and conduct disordered children. Brien's model has become a standard assessment tool as a school psychologist and family therapy intern to help families try to re-balance the levels of "control" and "protection" in their families.

O'Callaghan's ideas borne out.......2000-06-26

O'Callaghan's book is well-written, well-informed, and persuasive. His structural approach has now been tried in several school based locations, including one recently featured in ACA's newsletter. This material is useful for school-based counselors, school teachers and administrators, and recipients of school referrals for counseling for troubled children.

It would be nice if this book was based on facts..........1999-03-28

Dr. O'Callaghan forces his own unbalanced opinions upon the reader. Hopefully, anyone reading this book will also take the time to read information based upon facts and widely accepted viewpoints and theories, not just one person's beliefs. It would be nice to think that all problems children have could be resolved as simply as the author implies. Recent studies have shown otherwise. But, one could chose to ignore these facts and studies,as Dr. O'Callaghan does.

Book Description

Originally published in 1870, John Cornelius O'Callaghan's History of the Irish Brigades in the Service of France remains the vade mecum on its subject. Helion are pleased to announce a newly-typeset reprint edition, with the addition of a detailed index. Very large numbers of 'The Wild Geese', as the Irish soldiers in exile were called, served in the French army during the period in question (1688-1789). They participated in all of the major battles and campaigns of the period, more than once crossing arms with Irish soldiers in the service of Britain. This book provides an extraordinarily detailed account of their activities. O'Callaghan's study provides an account of the formation of the first Irish troops in French service between 1688 and 1691, and the subsequent creation of further regiments, and their service up to 1701. Much space in the book is given over to the Irish participation in the War of the Spanish Succession, including campaigns in Italy, Flanders, Germany and the Peninsula. Other important campaigns covered include the War of the Austrian Succession - notably the battles of Dettingen and Fontenoy, in which latter action the Irish troops particularly distinguished themselves, the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745, the Seven Years' War 1756-63 and the fortunes of France's Irish units sent to assist in the American Revolution between 1778 and 1783. The History of the Irish Brigades is a tour-de-force of research, containing an incredible amount of information relating to the Irish troops - the level of detail provided concerning regiments and individual officers is unprecedented, making this a treasure trove for genealogists. The text is readable, lively and full of interest, packed with anecdotes. The author spent over twenty years engaged in researching this book, and there can be no doubt it was a labour of love. This book will appeal to all those with an interest in C18th military history, Irish history or genealogy.

The lost (and now found) seminal crime novel masterpiece.......2005-01-30

This is a new edition of a novel I've always considered an early classic of the hard-boiled crime genre - written by an author who became better known for (a) being Hemingway's friend and (b) his later intense works of conscience, of social and religious morality.

Now I've got some support for that view by the new introduction in this edition by James Dubro. Dubro's has uncovered the real-life gang warfare that was taking place in Toronto and being reported by the Toronto Star where Morley Callaghan worked - and which obviously influenced him. Dubro argues that Callaghan's first novel may have been the first-ever in the genre of the gangster novel.

Strange Fugitive is Callaghan's first and, judging by it at the time, you might think he would become another James M. Cain.

Far different from Callaghan's usual earnest and tortured central characters, Harry Trotter is a rough, amoral figure who loses his job and his virtuous wife Vera on whom he regularly cheated. He drifts into bootlegging, becoming a leading gangster in 1920s prohibitionist Toronto.

Trotter is an uncomplicated strongman, who seizes what he wants, sleeps with whomever he feels like, wipes out competitors and never worries about whom he hurts. However Trotter keeps thinking about getting back with Vera. This and hints about his childhood relationship with his long-dead parents lead one to realize he is disturbed, though he is not introspective enough to realize this himself. The point of view is always that of the unperceptive Trotter. As a result, the important themes of the story are revealed between the lines, by the reader connecting random thoughts. It's all bubbling beneath the factual surface.

This is also one of Callaghan's most sparsely written stories. The narrative is delivered matter-of-factly, without a lot of adjective and adverbs, and with long scenes of sharp dialogue without attribution - again much like the hard-edged crime fiction just being developed then.

The dispassionate tone of the reporting, the author's voice never supplanting his subject's and with only a faint hint of irony, makes this the closest Callaghan comes to adopting the style being propagated at the time by his modernist colleagues like Joyce and Hemingway.

Compared to his later work, Callaghan in Strange Fugitive is depicting an earlier world, a more primitive character, and it's thrilling for the perceptive reader.
