These interviews, now being made available to the public for the first time, give a fascinating insight into the times and the people who fought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe West Cork interviews detail IRA intervention in Ulster, as well as giving prominence to the Cork No. 5 Brigade. Of eight interview subjects, five participated in the IRA's invasion of Northern Ireland. The interviewees talk about the Republican rifle exchange with the National Army which occurred secretly in May 1922, as Free State rifles supplied by Britain were swapped with IRA rifles, which were then sent to arm the IRA in Ulster. They also document the gruesome torture of Brigade Commander Ted O'Sullivan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernie O'Malley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781172463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781172469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercier Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.32w x 0.52d","brand":"Ernie O'Malley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965105291519,"sku":"9781781172469","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efc2d469-e2b5-496c-a867-3a3e1b548641.jpg?v=1767278461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-men-will-talk-to-ernie-omalley-9781781172469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
