The I.R.A. at War 1916-1923 by Peter Hart

The essays in The I.R.A. at War propose a new history of this Irish revolution: one that encompasses the whole of the island as well as Britain, all of the violence and its consequences, and the entire period from the Easter Rising to the end of the Civil War. Using new research and questioning old assumptions, these sparkling essays by Peter Hart address these and other controversies to suggest new ways of looking at the history of the Irish Revolution of 1916-23.
More than any other scholar of his generation, Hart has explored and questioned the violence which facilitated Irish state formation.. Hart's comparative sociological approach is, as ever, invigorating ... This compendium is the product of a gifted historian. * John Regan, Reviews in History *
