Description
Killing at its Very Extreme: October 1917-November 1920 This gripping account takes you to the heart of Dublin during a pivotal period in Irish history, from October 1917 to November 1920. The authors delve into the early stages of the War of Independence, detailing key events and the escalating intelligence war. As the situation intensifies, the reader is immersed in the world of Commandant Dick McKee's Dublin Brigade, witnessing the relentless actions and ambushes that defined this period. The book also explores the deployment of the notorious Black and Tans and Auxiliaries, as well as cunning political and propaganda ploys. Vividly portrayed are the desperate plights and horrific reprisals, including the sacking of Balbriggan, the killing of Seán Treacy, and the execution of teenager Kevin Barry. Through unprecedented access to primary sources, the authors shed new light on this often-mythologized period, revealing a complex web of events that shaped modern Ireland.
