This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the War of Independence and if you’re looking for a broad overview of how the War developed across the country between the years of 1919 to ’21, there’s a recently published book that offers an accessible, lay-person’s guide.
It’s entitled ‘Ireland’s War of Independence 1919-1921: Ireland’s Guerrilla Campaign’ and it’s by Lorcan Collins. Lorcan’s been speaking to Morning Focus producer Fiona McGarry who began by asking him what prompted him to write the book.
