Liam A" Duibhir charts the struggle for independence, both
militarily and politically, in Donegal from before the events of
Easter 1916 until the truce in 1921.Donegal has long been seen as
one of the quietest counties during the War of Independence but
this reputation belies an intriguing story of how republican
sentiment grew in the county. From the first mention of Sinn Fein,
through the conscription crisis and the success of the 1918
elections, A" Duibhir charts the rise of the new political
leadership in Donegal and how they built their own system of
justice and local government.Alongside the practical politics, he
also highlights the role of the IRB and the activities of the
volunteers in resisting and thwarting the British efforts to retain
control and impose order. Featuring new information and a fresh
look at events of the period, The Donegal Awakening offers an
updated account of this crucial period.
