Michael's War: A Story of the Irish Republican Army

by Daniel Ford

When he set out on his road to rebellion, Michael Ford only wanted to keep the foxes out of Hannon’s Glen. But before he was done, he found himself exchanging rifle fire with the British army, with an unlikely ally in the form of Annabel Love, the squire’s daughter. “Michael’s War” tracks the course of revolution and civil war that rended Ireland from 1916 to 1923. It ends with its hero escaping to America—but what sweetheart will he ask to join him in the new world?

If you have Irish ancestry you will probably enjoy learning about the early formation of the Irish Republican Army. I was surprised, to say the least, to read that Native American tribes sent aid to the Irish during the potato famine.
