Constable Jeremiah Mee is noted in the annals of Irish history for
being the spokesman for a group of RIC men in Listowel, who stood
up to their divisional commissioner, Colonel Smyth, and refused to
accept his policy of shooting any 'suspicious-looking' Irishman on
sight. This unique record, based on Mee's memoirs, presents a
first-hand account of life in the RIC from 1910 to 1920. It
chronicles the changing relationship between the Irish people and
the members of the force, gives a valuable insight into the
changing attitudes of many RIC men during the War of Independence
and includes a comprehensive account of the 1920 Listowel mutiny
and its aftermath. It also provides an account of Mee's work for
the First Dail's department of labour where he worked after leaving
the RIC and his involvement in the Belfast Boycott.
