With the IRA in the Fight for Freedom: 1919 to the Truce

By The Kerryman Newspaper

Re-issue of the classic text on the struggle for independence in Ireland, covering battles in Monaghan, Meath, Longford, Roscommon, Dublin, Clare, Mayo, Galway, Tipperary, Limerick and Cork. With the IRA in the Fight for Freedom offers eyewitness and first hand accounts of Ireland's struggle for independence in various parts of the country. It presents a representative picture of the fight by the IRA for independence and of the reign of terror endured by the civilian population. Only idealism and courage on the part of the freedom fighters and the steadfast support of the Irish people could have carried such an unequal struggle through to the end.

With barracks attacks, ambushes and shootings, it brings to life a conflict that is fading from the collective memory of county and country and offers a fascinating perspective on the struggle for independence, directly from the men who took part in the actions themselves.
