In the 1940s and 1950s Ernie O'Malley travelled around Ireland
interviewing survivors of Ireland's struggle for Independence.
These interviews, now being made available to the public for the
first, time give a fascinating insight into the times and the
people who fought. Many of those who were interviewed were
unwilling to talk - even to their own families - about their
experience, but because O'Malley was such a well-respected figure
they consented to be interviewed by him. This book includes
accounts of activities in many parts of Mayo and neighbouring parts
of Roscommon and Sligo and most of those interviewed also fought
against the Free State in the civil war. The key events described
took place in the early months of 1921 in places such as Kilmeena,
Tourmakeady and Carrowkennedy.
