Description
From Ashbourne to Killmallock the events of the War of Independence are well known. In this book, the actual participants and eyewitnesses to events describe the planning, the action and the outcomes. Some remain controversial even now, some 80 years later and others offer fresh perspective on how Irishmen fought to free their country from British rule.Many of the men who fought in the War of Independence went on to form the core of the Irish Army. These articles are taken from the pages of "An Cosantoir", the magazine of the Irish Armed Forces, and give real insight into the thoughts of the fighting men and their colleagues.
