Here is the story of Ireland's Civil War in colour - a defining
moment in Irish history brought to life for the first time in
hand-coloured photographs. The events of 1922-1923 are revealed
using photographs painstakingly hand-coloured by John O'Byrne. His
attention to detail gives a vivid authenticity that brings the
events alive. Many of these photographs, carefully selected from
archives and private collections, have never been published before.
They carry informative captions by Michael B. Barry, based on
extensive historical research. This richly illustrated book gives a
fresh perspective to the conflict. If you want a better
understanding of the story of the Irish Civil War, this is the book
for you.

A Nation Is Born celebrates a formative period in the history of
the Irish state: the fifteen years during which we emerged from the
rubble of wars and violence and set up as a fledgling country while
establishing a diplomatic presence on the world stage. Â The
photos presented here have been painstakingly hand-colourised by
photographer John O’Byrne, infusing energy into this
often-overlooked time: the election of the country’s first
governments; the mammoth Shannon hydroelectric scheme; a stunning
Eucharistic Congress; scenes of cottage industry and rural Irish
life; and ending with the uncertain rumblings of war in Europe.
 With over 150 photographs gathered from archives around the
country, accompanied by insightful and accessible commentary by
historian Michael B. Barry, A Nation Is Born brings a fresh
perspective on our history and our past to life in a compellingly
real way.
