The Centenary Classics contains six titles in this special edition series. The year 2016 marks the beginning of the centenary period of the Irish Free State's establishment. This beautifully produced limited edition series examines the fascinating time of change and evolution in the Ireland of 100 years ago. Each volume is a first-hand account of individuals or events during the 1913-23 revolutionary period. They are each introduced by leading experts and academics in the field - giving a contemporary analysis of the original text - while a general series introduction by Fearghal McGarry sets the scene of the period. The complete series collectively tells the story of the birth of the Irish nation and consist of the following six titles: 978-1-906359-94-2 A Chronicle of Jails - Darrell Figgis; 978-1-906359-95-9 Civil War in Ulster - Joseph Johnston; 978-1-906359-96-6 Free State or Republic? - Padraig de Burca and John F. Boyle; 978-1-906359-97-3 Rising Out - Ernie O'Malley; 978-1-906359-98-0 Victory and Woe - Mossie Harnett and 978-1-906359-99-7 The Victory of Sinn Fein - P. S. O'Hegarty.
This fascinating eyewitness account of the events in Ireland from the Easter Rising of 1916 until 1923 is now back in print for the first time since it was originally published in 1924. It is written from a now almost forgotten viewpoint -- that of the Irish Republican Brotherhood. O'Hegarty's heroes were Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins and he took the Pro-Treaty side in 1921, strongly opposing those who assumed a continuing mandate for force after ratification of the treaty. The book contains vivid character sketches of Griffith, Collins and de Valera and as Tom Garvin writes in his Introduction 'it is ... written with enormous passion, verve and energy; it reads like a thriller.'
