Massacre in West Cork: The Dunmanway and Ballygroman Killings

by Barry Keane

The deaths in and around Dunmanway, Ireland, in 1922 have always been shrouded in rumor and supposition. This book seeks to get to the bottom of them. Using previously overlooked evidence it proves that the real story is a simple one of revenge. It directly challenges claims of sectarianism and British involvement presenting a true story of these appalling events.

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extraordinarily well-researched and referenced, and very even-handed about some topics athat are seen as very emotive, even today. Worth a read by anyone interested in the War of Independence, the Irish Civil War and West Cork history in general.
