Cork earned the name Rebel County in these years. This book runs from Easter 1916 to the end of the Civil War, told through the people who lived it. You will meet Tomas Mac Curtain, shot in his own home, and Terence MacSwiney, who died on hunger strike in Brixton. You will follow Tom Barry's flying column to Kilmichael, watch the city burn in December 1920, and stand at Beal na Blath where Michael Collins fell. Thirteen chapters that stay fair to every side of a divided memory. Illustrated. Digital download (PDF).
