Description
Tom Glennon's story is one of brutal street fighting in Belfast, daring escapes from captivity, and the devastating consequences of his experiences. From 1920 to 1933, he was a key figure in the IRA, involved in some of the most intense and violent episodes of the Northern Ireland conflict. Glennon's silence about his past was so complete that almost 80 years passed before his son learned the truth about his own mother's death. Now, using contemporary documents and the accounts of comrades and enemies, Glennon's grandson sheds new light on the mythology of the Belfast pogrom and questions the Northern IRA's role in the conflict. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of Ireland's most tumultuous periods, re-examining the events that shaped Tom Glennon's life and the legacy of the IRA.
