Présentation de l'éditeur Kerry was the scene of some of the bloodiest and most -protracted fighting during the Civil War. In this thorough and engaging book, Tom Doyle takes a fresh look at the progress of the war in Kerry from both sides. When the Provisional Government landed troops by sea, the anti-Treaty forces were taken completely by surprise. Although the initial fighting was intense, resistance soon settled into a prolonged period of guerrilla warfare.By following events up to the general election in 1923, when a degree of normality returned, The Civil War in Kerry shines a light on how the non-combatants of Kerry judged the conflict and how the war shaped the future of politics in the county for decades. Biographie de l'auteur Tom Doyle is a native of Kerry. He lives in Cork city and works with the revenue commissioners and has an active involvement with Kerry history.
