The Irish Civil War 1922-23 by Peter Cottrell
In this follow-up to the acclaimed The Anglo-Irish War, Peter Cottrell explores the Irish Civil War, a devastating conflict that tore Ireland apart. This book examines the many factions that played a part in the fighting and the terror and counter-terror operations, focusing on the short bloody battles that witnessed more deaths than the preceding years during the struggle for the Free State. Cottrell particularly focuses on the contrasting styles of leadership and the conduct of combat operations by the IRA and the National Army, providing a fascinating study for all students of Irish history as well as military history.
Peter Cottrell is a former officer who retired in 2008 as a major after twenty-one years of naval and military service. He has a Master's degree in History, specialising in the Royal Irish Constabulary. After several years of teaching secondary school, he now lives on the Yorkshire coast.
