Description
A translation of Colm Ó Gaora's MISE.
On the Run is a translation of Colm Ó Gaora's Mise, one of the best-known accounts of the War of Independence in the Irish language. Ó Gaora was an important figure in the development of republicanism and the IRB in the west of Ireland, and On the Run is a fascinating record of that turbulent era in Irish history.
Ó Gaora gives a vivid account of the social and living conditions of the people of Connemara in the early years of the twentieth century, his time working as a Gaelic League organiser, his experiences as a member of the IRB and the Irish Volunteers, and the events he took part in during the War of Independence.
