First published in 1973, Towards Ireland Free is the story of one of the leaders of the War of Independence. In this account of the War of Independence in West Cork, he vividly recreates the tense and hope-filled atmosphere of those years and provides a rich gallery of portraits of those he fought alongside.
Due to 'family' history I found this a compelling work of historic interest. Chapter after chapter captivated me - more, I am certain, than if there were no family or heritage ties. The book is written well and begs one to continue onward in anxious anticipation of what may appear around the next corner. Most books are rated related to their usefulness and contributions to my research. Overall, a good book for the researcher and enthusiast. Read for personal research - found this book's contents helpful and inspiring - number rating relates to the book's contribution to my needs.
