Synopsis
This book looks at the violent mark the Irish Civil War left on County Kildare. The county had the highest number of IRA volunteers executed during the war. The two internment camps located in the county held over 3,000 prisoners and were the scene of mass hunger strikes and mass jail-breaks, including one where 112 prisoners escaped. This fascinating historical account covers the many military actions to take place in County Kildare during the turbulent years of the Irish Civil War.
