A Rebel in the County Cork, 1915-1923: Case Study of an Insurgency (Long Essay, submitted in partial fulfillment of the M.A. degree at King's College London) Kindle Edition

In this short monograph, Daniel Ford combines a survey of the literature with the memories of his father, one of the Irish Republican Army volunteers who battled British forces during and after the First World War. Though the rebellion was settled by the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, IRA diehards fought the new Irish government for two bloody years. Ford concludes that the rebellion and civil war was in many ways the first modern insurgency, prefiguring some of the same tactics used by Islamists today. About 3,500 words. A "long essay" submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in War Studies, King's College London.

3.0 out of 5 stars too short of a book I thought.

too short of a book I thought. I was really excited when I saw the title because my own great Uncle was a member of the IRA in County Cork. But it just didn't give enough of a story or detail to wow me.
