The IRA - Brian Hanley

The IRA: A Documentary History traces the organisation from its origins,through the War of Independence and up to recent times. The rarely seeninternal documentation, photographs and newspaper clippings tell thestory of the IRA in its own words.

The result is a rare glimpse into the workings of one of the most enduringrevolutionary organisations in the world.

'The incisive and truthful narrative complements the originaldocuments, leaflets, photographs, newspapers and posters.By distinguishing between myth and reality, Hanley skilfullycaptures the essence of the IRA over the last one hundred years.'
