In the War of Independence, military leaders such as Michael
Collins, Liam Lynch and Liam Deasy secured Irish independence from
a country that had seemingly limitless resources of men, money and
arms. The British, lacked the one thing which the Irish possessed
in abundance: a burning conviction in the justice of their cause.
First published in 1973, Towards Ireland Free is the story of one
of these leaders. Liam Deasy was just twenty at the time of the
1916 Easter Rising. He enrolled in the Volunteers in Bandon in 1917
and by 1921 was in command of the West Cork Brigade. In this
account of the War of Independence in West Cork, he vividly
recreates the tense and hope-filled atmosphere of those years and
provides a rich gallery of portraits of those alongside whom he
fought. Best of all, he recounts in great detail famous episodes
such as the successful attacj on the British Naval Sloop in Bantry,
Howes Strand and Ballycrovane Coastguard stations, the ambushes at
Kilmichael and Crossbarry and the raid on Fastnet rock.
