The Republic : the fight for Irish independence, 1918-1923
The Irish fight for independence was both a physical battle of protracted violence, and an intellectual battle for a new sort of country. After bloodshed, betrayals and grim compromises that haunted a generation, the struggle ended and a new Irish state was born. These critical years in Ireland's history have often been viewed through the prisms of myth and martyrdom. Charles Townshend's The Republic gets to the truth, painting a far more nuanced and sceptical picture than previous accounts have done but never losing sight of the ordinary heroism of countless Irish men and women trapped in terrible times.
