The first comprehensive account to record and analyze all deaths
arising from the Irish revolution between 1916 and 1921 "A
monumental new book [and] an incredible piece of research. . . .
Formidable, authoritative and handsomely produced, The Dead of the
Irish Revolution is a fitting memorial."-Andrew Lynch, Irish
Independent "Will surely serve as the indispensable reference work
on this topic for the foreseeable future. . . . A truly remarkable
feat of close scholarship and calm exposition."-Gearoid O
Tuathaigh, Irish Times Weekend This account covers the turbulent
period from the 1916 Rising to the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December
1921-a period which saw the achievement of independence for most of
nationalist Ireland and the establishment of Northern Ireland as a
self-governing province of the United Kingdom. Separatists fought
for independence against government forces and, in North East
Ulster, armed loyalists. Civilians suffered violence from all
combatants, sometimes as collateral damage, often as targets. Eunan
O'Halpin and Daithi O Corrain catalogue and analyze the deaths of
all men, women, and children who died during the revolutionary
years-505 in 1916; 2,344 between 1917 and 1921. This study provides
a unique and comprehensive picture of everyone who died: in what
manner, by whose hands, and why. Through their stories we obtain
original insight into the Irish revolution itself.
