Brothers in Arms: When ordinary people challenged an empire and won (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798197063908)

The Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) was not won through a conventional military victory over the much larger and better-equipped British Empire. Instead, ordinary people across Ireland helped make British rule increasingly difficult, expensive, and politically unsustainable.
Farmers, shopkeepers, teachers, craftsmen and labourers took on an empire and forced a settlement that ultimately led to independence.
This is not a comprehensive account of what took place, during that time. It is merely a snapshot of some of the events that occurred in North Cork, West Limerick and East Kerry obtained largely from the accounts of individuals that were there.
