Date Published: 17 Apr 2025
1916, Dublin. Loyalties are strained and tension is rife during the Easter Rebellion and the bitter years that follow.

These are the early years of Sinn Fein; the time of dreaded, terrible deeds. Through the diverging lives of two young brothers, the agony of Ireland during this harrowing period is brought to life.

The Scorching Wind is the final instalment of Walter Macken's ambitious and enthralling Irish Trilogy.

'The long tale of terror and bravery, the arrests, the burnings, the ambushes, the reprisals, is told with the deftness of a professional storyteller' - Irish Press

He also acted in films, notably in Arthur Dreifuss' adaptation of Brendan Behan's The Quare Fellow. He is perhaps best known for his trilogy of Irish historical novels Seek the Fair Land, The Silent People and The Scorching Wind. He passed away in 1967.
