About this product

Product Information

'Guerilla Days in Ireland' is the extraordinary story of the Irish War of Independence and the fight between two unequal forces, which ended in the withdrawal of the British from twenty-six counties. Seven weeks before the Truce of July 1921, the British presence in County Cork consisted of 8,800 front line infantry troops, 1,150 Black & Tan soldiers, 540 Auxiliaries, 2,080 machine gun corps, artillery and other units - a total of over 12,500 men. Against these British forces stood the Irish Republican Army whose flying columns never exceeded 310 riflemen in the whole of the county. These flying columns were small groups of dedicated Volunteers, severely commanded and disciplined. Constantly on the move, their paramount objective was merely to exist, to strike when conditions were favourable and to avoid disaster at all costs. 'In Guerilla Days in Ireland' Tom Barry describes the setting up of the West Cork flying column, its training and its plan of campaign.

  • 'The Kilmichael Ambush' David versus Goliath, went down in Irish History as a British defeat.

    The book is well written by the leader of the West Cork IRA-General, Tom Barry. It makes your hair stand on end because you feel the blood flying by and the din of fierce hand-to-hand fighting. It is a true first-hand account from the General who led the IRA to their first victory over the brutal Essex regimen of Black and Tans in West Cork, Ireland.
