Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A ground-breaking new book that looks back on Ireland's struggle for freedom with a refreshingly new perspective and attitude. This is a journey into a turbulent period in Ireland's past and covers the exploits of charismatic guerrilla leader Seán Treacy, Tipperary's flying columns and the horrors of Croke Park's 'Bloody Sunday'. Tipperary's role in the War of Independence has been greatly under-played and this book analyses the main events and personalities of the time.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [211]-216) and index.
