This book is the first comprehensive account of both the ambush and the intense debates that followed. It explores the events, memory, and historiography of the ambush, from 1920 to the present day, within a wider framework of interwar European events, global 'memory wars, ' and current scholarship relating to Irish, British, oral, and military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKilmichael: The Life and Afterlife of an Ambush\u003c\/i\u003e features extensive archival research, including the late Peter Hart's papers, as well as many other new sources from British and Irish archives, and previously unavailable oral history interviews with Kilmichael veterans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere has always been more than one version of Kilmichael.
