    About this ebook

    Within months of first publication, Michael Hopkinson's study of the Irish War of Independence established itself as by far most comprehensive and evocative account of the role played by the conflict in shaping modern Ireland. It has been welcomed both by scholars and the general public alike, and gone further than perhaps any other recent publication in recasting our understanding of Ireland's decisive confrontation with the military might of the British Empire.

      This is a very well written book, like Hopkinson's works before and since. While MacArdle's "The Irish Republic" remains the main piece of work for this area of Irish history this book is a useful piece and can be viewed as an updated appendix to same. I would see "Green against Green" as a superior work with more original ideas than this one. The Consequences section of the book contains the most new information but overall the descriptions of the conflict in the various counties are highly readable and provide sources for those who want to pursue their own additional research.
