Flaptekst boek over de Ierse onafhankelijkheidsoorlog in Cork

East Cork was a very dangerous area during the Irish War of Independence. Several major and minor actions between the IRA and Crown Forces took place there during 1920 and 1921, including the first RIC Barracks to be captured and destroyed at Carrigtwohill. Other significant events include the capture of Castlemartyr and Cloyne RIC barracks, the ambush at Mile Bush near Midleton where a British Army bicycle patrol was relieved of their weapons, and the IRA ambush of an RIC foot patrol in Midleton. This period also saw the first official reprisals, the disastrous battle at Clonmult, the Cobh quarry attack, and the Bunker Hill ambush.

This book includes all the major and minor engagements between the IRA and Crown Forces; the actions described have never before been so extensively researched and published in such a comprehensive and balanced fashion.

Flaptekst van het boek over Cork de stad in Ierland

Explore the historic city of Cork in this fully illustrated A-Z guide to its history, people and places.

Cork is often described as Ireland’s southern capital. The city’s history goes back to a monastic then Viking settlement in the early medieval period to become Ireland’s second largest city. During the War of Independence in the early twentieth century the city was often at the forefront of fighting, the city centre being burnt down by British forces, and was again the focus of fighting during the ensuing Irish Civil War. The city has always been open to the world, as an Atlantic port, and today the city is a vibrant cultural, industrial and economic centre for south-west Ireland, where the past is in evidence while the city looks forward. Corkonians draw on rich heritage through the city’s history, from sports, maritime traditions, commerce and education to festivals, literature, art, music and the rich Cork accent.

A–Z of Cork reveals the history behind Cork, its streets and buildings, businesses and the people connected with the city. Alongside the famous historical connections are unusual characters, tucked-away places and unique events that are less well-known. Fully illustrated throughout, this book will appeal to all those with an interest in this historic city.

For over twenty years, Kieran McCarthy has actively promoted Cork’s heritage with its various communities and people. He has led and continues to lead successful heritage initiatives through his community talks, City and County school heritage programmes, walking tours, newspaper articles, books and his work through his heritage consultancy business. For the past 16 years, Kieran has written a local heritage column in the Cork Independent on the history, geography and its intersection of modern day life in communities in Cork City and County. He is the author of fourteen books local history books. In June 2009 and May 2014, Kieran was elected as a local government councillor (Independent) to Cork City Council.
