Description
Ireland's War of Independence 1919-21: A Guerrilla Campaign The Irish War of Independence, spanning from the first shooting of RIC constables in Soloheadbeg, Co Tipperary, on 21 January 1919, to the truce in July 1921, was marked by a range of attacks on all levels of British rule in Ireland. The IRA's campaign was a testament to the determination of Irish Republicans who fought against overwhelming odds. Stories of humanity emerged during this period, such as the British soldiers who helped three IRA men escape from prison, and those who mutinied in India after hearing about the reprisals being carried out by the Black and Tans in Ireland. These acts of defiance and compassion humanised the conflict, highlighting the complexities of the struggle for Ireland's independence. This book provides an accessible overview of the IRA's guerrilla campaign, shedding light on the people and events that shaped this pivotal period in Irish history.
