The violence and divisions caused by the Irish Civil War of 1922–23 were more vicious, bitter and protracted in County Kerry than anywhere else in Ireland. For generations, the fratricide, murder and executions that occurred there have been synonymous with the worst excesses of the brutality which followed the split over the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921.
In this compelling new history of the conflict in his native county, Owen O’Shea offers fresh insights into atrocities such as the landmine executions at Ballyseedy and Knocknagoshel, and their cover-ups, and also the misery and mayhem of the conflict for the wider population. The immense trauma and hardship faced by combatants and their families, as well as the legacy of ill health and psychological scars left on survivors are explored for the first time. Also presented is a catalogue of the intimidation, destruction and lawlessness which severely affected civilians who had no involvement in the war but suffered greatly, sometimes losing their lives.
No Middle Path offers an engrossing account of the terrible events in Kerry, and their shocking and enduring legacy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The violence and divisions caused by the Civil War in County Kerry in 1922-23 were more vicious, bitter, and protracted than anywhere else in Ireland. For generations, the fratricide, murder, and executions in Kerry have been synonymous with the worst excesses of the brutality and mayhem which followed the split over the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921. In this new analysis of the conflict in his native county, Owen O'Shea offers new insights into the misery and mayhem, from the perspectives of combatants as well as their families and the wider civilian population. Based on newly researched archive accounts and testimonies, the immense trauma, hardship, poverty, ill health, and psychological scars of the families of those killed and injured is explored for the first time. Also presented is a catalogue of the intimidation, destruction, crime, and lawlessness which severely affected civilians who had no involvement in the war but suffered greatly, sometimes losing their lives. No Middle Path offers an engrossing account of the terrible events in Kerry and of some of the darkest days in Irish history as well as their shocking and enduring legacy. Artikel-Nr. 9781785374531
