About this book
Orange and Green: A Tale of the Boyne and Limerick by George Alfred Henty thrusts listeners into the violent crossroads of 17th-century Ireland, where politics, religion, and land rights ignite a brutal struggle.
Henty’s historical fiction recreates the Williamite wars—from the Siege and Relief of Derry to the Battle of the Boyne and the sieges around Limerick and Athlone—blending eyewitness detail and narrative drama. Drawing on a variety of sources and written with an eye to the Irish perspective, the novel explores themes of loyalty, dispossession, and the human cost of warfare, while delivering vivid scenes of cavalry raids, winter quarters, daring missions, and life in a divided country. The prose balances action and historical context, making complex events accessible without sacrificing authenticity.
Perfect for fans of history and classic literature, this audiobook will appeal to listeners who enjoy historical adventure, military history, and richly drawn period storytelling. Turn on Orange and Green for a compelling, well-researched portrait of the Boyne and Limerick campaigns and a deeper understanding of a turbulent chapter in Irish and British history.
