An enthralling and memorable book.
This is the second part of Ernie O'Malley's Irish revolutionary memoirs (the first being 'On Another Man's Wound'). It follows his adventures after the signing of the 1921 treaty, when he joined the Republican forces to carry on the struggle for Irish freedom. Aside from the gripping tales of roadside ambushes and guerilla fighting, there is also O'Malleys poetic narrative that covers descriptions of a land and it's people in intimate detail. There is some excellent political commentary too, with a sharp insight on a troubled and uncertain period. Personally I would recommend this as being one of the little known classics, to be read by anyone wishing to know the history and roots of the Irish conflict, and also as a great work of literature.
