Editorial Reviews

"Irish historians have written extensively about the 'Troubles' of 1916-23, but few have done so as masterfully or with as much originality as Hart. Nor have many writers shows, with as much skill and thoroughness, what the conflict was really like for those who experienced it firsthand....An illuminating, often gripping account that students of modern history, politics, and sociology will find immensely useful....Highly recommended."—CHOICE
"This book has performed a very valuable service and pioneered a new approach to the writing of the history between 1919 and 1921-The War of Independence...an eloquent but emotional description of the climate of fear in wartime Cork...pioneering research."—Journal of Modern History
"[E]legant, vivid, and convincing."—American Historical Review
