Description
Ernie O'Malley's interviews with survivors of Ireland's struggle for Independence offer a unique insight into the times and people who fought for their country's freedom. Conducted in the 1940s and 1950s, these conversations provide a fascinating glimpse into the experiences of those who were willing to share their stories, despite the trauma and secrecy surrounding their involvement. The interviews, now made available to the public for the first time, cover a range of events and locations, including Mayo and its neighbouring areas of Roscommon and Sligo. Many of those interviewed fought against the Free State in the civil war, and their accounts offer a valuable perspective on the key events of the early months of 1921. This book presents a collection of these interviews, providing a rare and valuable insight into Ireland's complex and often tumultuous history.
