County Kerry saw many of the most vicious episodes in both the War of Independence and the Civil War. Many Republican survivors of these events were reluctant to speak about their experiences, even to their own family. However, they were willing to talk to Ernie O’Malley, who was the senior surviving Republican military commander from the period of those struggles. By transcribing O’Malley’s notebooks, where he recorded these interviews, Cormac O’Malley and Tim Horgan have made available previously unpublished first-hand accounts of Kerry’s role in the fight for independence. The interviews provide an unrivalled insight into this important period of Irish history, including controversial incidents such as the Ballyseedy massacre, the battle at Headford Junction and executions by the Free State forces.
