Our Struggle for Independence: Eye-witness accounts from the pages of An Cosantoir

In this book, the actual participants and eyewitnesses to events of the War of Independence describe the planning, the action, and the outcomes. Some remain controversial even now, 80 years later, and others offer fresh perspective on how Irishmen fought to free their country from British rule. Many of the men who fought in the War of Independence went on to form the core of the Irish Army. These articles are taken from the pages of An Cosantoir, the magazine of the Irish Armed Forces, and give real insight into the thoughts of the fighting men and their colleagues.
