This is a very interesting book. Most of the books written about the Civil War are from a pro-Treaty perspective and in this one O Gadhra is sympathetic to those who took the Republican side in the conflict. The author also provides a general picture of how the civil war came into being which is very readable. While the title reads the Civil War in Connacht the book chiefly deals with the Civil War in Galway rather than in other areas of the province. I expected that the book would make reference to the conflict in the other western counties as well such as Sligo and Mayo. This is perhaps a work for other books.… (más)
