The Men Will Talk to Me

The book offers a rare glimpse into the memories of Galway survivors from the Irish War of Independence and Civil War, as captured in Ernie O'Malley's handwritten notebooks. Many of these individuals were reluctant to share their stories even with family, yet they opened up to O'Malley, a prominent Republican military leader. Their accounts shed light on significant events like the Clifden attack and the struggles faced by Galway IRA volunteers, providing invaluable insights into a pivotal era in Irish history.
