The story behind the Major Motion Picture The Fighter, starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, Irish Thunder is about a boxer from a boxing family and a boxing town, but it is not a boxing book. It is about the human spirit, blind loyalty, self-preservation and self-destruction. Micky's dramatic victories inside the ring are recounted in detail, but it is his victory outside the ring that will leave the reader inspired.

"The themes in Micky's ... story of family, betrayal, brotherly love, tragedy, triumph, being an underdog, perseverance, and redemption, set against a boxing backdrop, resonate with nonboxing fans. Think 'Rocky' for the new millennium." -Boston Globe "Bob Halloran does a remarkable job in describing the actual key bouts of Lowell's champion boxer. You can almost feel the punches and intensity of the brutal sport."-The Sun (Lowell, MA) "[T]errific... compellingly powerful... Ward was a fighter who was hard to keep down. Irish Thunder is a book that is hard to put down."-thesweetscience.com
