Description

The Singing Flame is a gripping firsthand account of Ernie O'Malley's experiences fighting against the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the newly formed Irish Free State during the Irish Civil War. As a high-ranking IRA commander, O'Malley led the Republican forces in pivotal battles, including the Four Courts battle, and was eventually captured and imprisoned until 1924. Released after the Free State's victory, O'Malley penned these memoirs while living in the USA, providing valuable insights into the divided Republican movement and the tragic Civil War that followed independence. First published in 1936 as a companion to his acclaimed War of Independence memoir On Another Man's Wound, The Singing Flame offers a unique perspective on Ireland's revolutionary period. This memoir stands as a historical record from a key figure in the conflict, shedding light on the complexities of the time. A valuable addition to any collection of Irish history, The Singing Flame is a compelling and thought-provoking read for those interested in the subject.
