Description

In 1919 a group of men barely out of their teens, poorly armed, and without money or training, renewed the fight to drive the British out of Ireland. When the Treaty in 1921 failed to bring complete separation from Britain, and Civil War loomed, Dan was in San Francisco. He had a premonition that he was going back to meet his death. On the train from California to New York, he jotted down the rough draft of his life which became this book. The fact that it was written at white heat in such a brief time gives it a swiftness, almost a breathlessness of movement, rare in historical memoirs. First published in 1924 and revised in 1964 by the author.
