Product Description
Tom Barry, after service in the British Army in the first world war, became the commander of the IRA's West Cork Flying Column during the Irish War of Independence. Barry developed an innovative style of guerrilla warfare, and which later influenced another famous guerrilla fighter, Che Guevara.
First published in 1949, this is the 1955 Mercier Press edition, WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET, with all the fold out maps and photographs present, not ex library, not inscribed, no marks or damage internally. The book is rarely found in good condition, and the dustjacket is particularly prone to damage and paper loss.
Solid in blue cloth, titles in gold to spine, slightly faded usual light tanning to pages. The two fold out maps, one of the Crossbarry ambush, and the other of the wider areas of Cork and Kerry - are both present and undamaged.
