Review Quotes: This book magnificently dissects the Irish revolution of 1913-23, layer by layer by layer. The words 'landmark' and 'groundbreaking' are much overused by publishers, but Cork University Press is much justified in employing those descriptions to trumpet this mammoth production, in all its glory, amounting to 5kg and one thousand pages of enlightened essays, chapters and case studies by over one hundred scholars with accompanying maps, tables, statistics, photographs and documents. It should be read, consulted and savoured for many years to come by anyone with an interest in modern Irish history.--Diarmaid Ferriter, Professor of Modern Irish History, University College Dublin
