Full Description
Liam Mellows was one of the most radical and intellectually
questioning members of the 1916-1922 Irish Republican leadership. The book is a standard source for the years 1916-1922,
a period when Ireland experienced
revolutionary turmoil, partition and Civil War.
As Adams comments, the book offers 'an incisive insight
into the important 1916-22 period when the island was partitioned [and] ... into
the social and class politics which underpinned the Republican split on the
1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty'.
