All Ireland seethed with indignation . . . '&newpara;This new edition of Dublin's Fighting Story with an introduction by Diarmaid Ferriter features stories and reports from every aspect of the War of Independence, from the formation of the Fianna Éireann and the Volunteers, through the Great Dublin Strike and Lock-out in 1913 and the 1916 Rising to the death of Seán Treacy in a bloody street shoot-out, the triumph and tragedy of Bloody Sunday and the burning of the Customs House.

Author Biography:

Originally published by The Kerryman in 1947, there are four titles in the “Fighting Stories Series”. ‘Rebel Cork’, ‘Dublin’, ‘Kerry’ and ‘Limerick’. They record the events of the War of Independence in the words of the people who fought it and those who wrote about it at the time. Diarmaid Ferriter was born in Dublin and wrote the remarkably successful biography of Eamon De Valera, Judging Dev, which was accompanied by a radio series on RTÉ. He also wrote the acclaimed, 'The Transformation of Ireland 1900- 2000'.
