Reviews
On Jun 24 2011, PaudORiain said:
Dan Breen, Sean Treacy and other local men started what has now become known as the Anglo-Irish war in 1919 also called in Ireland the War of Independence. They ambushed two RIC Officers(Royal Irish Constabulary forerunners of the RUC in N.Ireland) who were escorting a consignment of explosives to a local stone quarry at Solohead Beg on the outskirts of Tipperary Town.Dan and his comrades ordered the two RIC Officers lay down their weapons and hand over the explosives. The Officers refused and were shot by Dan Breen.This was the start of the War and this book gives you an insight into to the life and times of Dan Breen and Ireland at that time.The Irish Civil war followed and this led into what I believe to be the saddest episode in Ireland's history.This eventually led to the partition of the Island of Ireland.
