Autorenporträt

Brian Fleming's first book The Vatican Pimpernel: The Wartime Exploits of Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty was published in 2008 by the Collins Press in Ireland and by Skyhorse Publishing in the US. It recounts the story of an Irish priest in the Vatican who set up an escape line for those escaping the Nazis and Fascists. At least 6,500 were saved as a result. Fleming is also the author of articles in academic journals and three books on the history of Irish education. Recently he has revisited the subject of war-time escape lines and has carried out in-depth research on a number of them for this book.
