Blaming the RIC for his death, IRA members followed District Inspector Swanzy, believed to have ordered the killing, to his new posting in Lisburn and shot him dead. Furthermore, Banbridge man Lt Colonel Smyth was killed for his policy of shooting any Irishman found carrying a gun who refused to surrender immediately. As a result the towns of Banbridge, Dromore and Lisburn erupted in anti-catholic violence. Catholic businesses and homes were torched, and families forced to flee. In \u003ci\u003eThe Burnings 1920\u003c\/i\u003e, Pearse Lawlor peels away the myth that enveloped these events and exposes the real reasons for the violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pearse Lawlor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1856356124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781856356121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercier Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 42","brand":"Pearse Lawlor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984423715071,"sku":"9781856356121","price":18.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_765230ae-a78b-4269-8b54-a467abe77449.jpg?v=1683272234","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-burnings-1920-pearse-lawlor-9781856356121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
