More about the book

"The author gives due weight to the importance of the intelligence gathered by Michael Collins's network of spies and informers, and presents first-hand accounts of the many ambushes and other engagements that occurred across the country during the war, including the little-known Battle of Pettigo. Above all, the witnesses are allowed to speak for themselves about this crucial period in Irish history - which was to be followed by the acrimonious debates on the Treaty and a descent into civil war."--BOOK JACKET.
