One Man's Ireland - Owen O'Shea - diskuze

In this unrepentant and revealing memoir, Dan Mulvihill, a leading figure in Irish republicanism recounts his fight for an Irish Republic over several decades and his central involvement in key events throughout the twentieth century.Dan Mulvihill was at the heart of many of the most iconic and tumultuous events during Ireland’ s revolutionary years. He was an IRA volunteer who fought and killed in the name of Ireland, a loyal ally of É amon de Valera – who he smuggled out of Dublin at the beginning of the Civil War – a vehement opponent of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, a member of Liam Lynch’ s staff in the anti-Treaty IRA, a prisoner and hunger striker, a spy and intelligence officer.In One Man’ s Ireland, Mulvihill details his life story from 1916 to the early 1980s, describing the seminal events in the history of the country as well as the many key figures in republicanism in his native Kerry and nationally. A self-styled maverick and committed revolutionary, Dan Mulvihill was a largely forgotten figure in Irish history, until now.
