"Ireland's Civil War is a work of major history importance. In writing it, Calton Younger has painstakingly researched original sources and documents and his authoritative account is enlivened with anecdotes and reminiscences related to him by actual participants in the conflict. His observations and conclusions make both the political and human aspects of the war explicitly clear and his material, much of which has never before been published, sheds new light on the complex course of events surrounding Ireland's most tragic of troubles."--Book Jacket.
