The Men Will Talk to Me: Kerry Interviews by Ernie O'Malley (Ernie O'Malley Series)

From Easter 1916 until the bitter end of the Irish Civil War, Kerry was embroiled in bloody conflict. Now, for the first time in published form, many of the county's main participants in the struggle tell their own stories. These men were reluctant to recount their exploits, even to their own families, but were willing to speak to Ernie O'Malley, a respected and legendary IRA leader during the wars. Working from his father's notebooks, Cormac O'Malley, with local Kerry historian, Tim Horgan, have produced the only comprehensive first hand accounts of the War of Independence and the Civil War in Kerry, in which many of the bloody and controversial incidents of the period are brought vividly to life through the words of the participants.
