Description
The radical and separatist traditions in the author’s native parish are traced back to the personalities and events of the 1798 Rebellion, the Fenians and the struggle for land, before directing the book’s main focus on the War of Independence and Civil War in Aghada. This fast-paced, evidence-based, history represents, in many ways, the Irish revolutionary experience in microcosm. In the process, the lifestyles, townlands and people of 100 years ago are vividly brought to life in a compelling and scholarly account.
