Probably the most extensive history of the War of Independence in one of the bloodiest regions in the country will be published later this year following years of painstaking research by three men.
, which is being published by The History Press, will focus on East Cork which was a particularly violent area with many IRA ambushes and attacks on Crown Forces. It will feature never before published pictures and specially commissioned drawings and maps.
