Customer Reviews

Interesting format

This book is divided into two sections, a short narrative and a collection of contemporary photos. The photos are what really makes the book, spanning as they do from the turn of the century to the end of the Civil War they show aspects of that desperate struggle between pro- and anti-treaty forces which one might otherwise miss. At the very least this book should supplement the collection of any historian interested in this particular chapter in Irish history.

Absolutely Breathtaking Courage

This book really portrays the hope,courage and freedom that the Irish Free State leaders possessed.The brains and guts that it took to carry out such a mission were only shown to us by MICHAEL COLLINS & EAMON DEVALERA.This book feels as if you were up there fighting with our heroes. It really makes you wish that you were there.... in The Irish Civil War
