IAOS Meeting & Conference

Jim Webb, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy, served as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. He received several awards for his heroic services. Webb's debut novel, Fields of Fire, based on his own experiences, received praise for its depiction of infantry life and combat. He later wrote Born Fighting, a personal exploration of the Scots-Irish and their impact on American history and culture. The executions following the Rising ignited a generation's passion for Irish freedom, leading to the War of Independence, the establishment of the Irish Free State, and ultimately, the Irish Civil War.
