Synopsis
In this concise history of the Irish Civil War, Helen Litton recounts the events leading up to the signing of the treaty and the outbreak of hostilities. It features the personalities - the pragmatism of Arthur Griffith, the charisma of Michael Collins, the rhetoric of de Valera, and the military tactics of Liam Lynch. Using newspaper reports, speeches, and eyewitness accounts, the book describes the mixture of confusion, inexperience and sometimes misguided vision that characterized both the Provisional Government and those commanding the Irregulars.
