The Centenary Classics series examines the fascinating time of
change and evolution in the Ireland of 100 years ago during the
1916-23 revolutionary period. Each volume is introduced by Fearghal
McGarry who sets the scene of this important period in Ireland's
history. Victory and Woe is an account of life at the grassroots
during the Irish War of Independence and the Civil War by the
Officer Commanding, 2nd Battalion, West Limerick Brigade of the
Irish Volunteers. Mossie Harnett (1893-1977), who fought on the
Anti-Treaty side in the Civil War, describes his early life on a
farm in Tournafulla in the southwest corner of Limerick, his
enrolment in the Irish Volunteers in 1915, and his involvement in
the conflict until his release from a Free State prison in 1923. In
an appendix, the British troops' little-known and short-lived
practice of taking hostages in order to protect themselves is
vividly described by Mossie's cousin, Dr Edward Harnett, who was
taken hostage in spring 1921. An introduction by Harnett's
son-in-law, James H. Joy, places his father-in-law's text in the
context of the revolutionary period.
