Review of The God Squad

Ireland and the Irish love to give the impression all is rosy in the pantry. This book shows to it reader another side of Irelands past Every student of history should add this book to their collection.
It is the story of Governmental and clergy collaboration in the destruction of the family unit in Ireland in the years of independence todate. It clearly defines Paddy's early youth and the atrocities visited upon him while in the care of just one of the Industrial Instutional Schools of Ireland.
This is a moving story of one boy's emotional destruction, dignity,and pain which will reduce even the most hardened human beings to tears.It was also the instrument which opened the scandals of the industrial schools to the world.
