Description
On July 8, 1921, a truce between the IRA and the British Army was announced to begin 3 days later. However, in the four days from July 8-11, at least 60 people were killed. For a century the truth of these killings has been conveniently overlooked and instead replaced by myths and propaganda invented by politicians, historians and newspaper columnists to support the idea that the IRA launched a campaign to kill as many people as possible before the war ended, most of them 'soft targets'. This book goes back to the facts to reveal what actually happened, and why, in those four bloody days of battle between the IRA and their British opponents in Ireland's War of Independence. -- Publisher description
