Add to basketFirst Edition. 12.7 cm x 18.7 cm. 149 pages. Original paperback. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. This book is rare. The pride of the British government with their military control over much of the world blunted their tolerance to withstand a rebuff from a weakling on their doorstep. They embarked on a horrendous policy to teach a lesson to a generation of Irishmen and women who wished to rid themselves from long endured British oppression. However, full blooded attempts to crush an Irish uprising, from 1916 to 1921, were not successful, because the Irish, determined to achieve freedom, were prepared to suffer what the oppressors might inflict. Not only was it costly in terms of finance for the British to force the Irish people into submission, but it also meant sacrificing some of the best and most loyal officers in the army. One of these was Major Compton-Smith, a hostage in the hands of the I.R.A. whose life was bartered for the reprieve of I.R.A. prisoners awaiting execution in Victoria Barracks, Cork. (Preface).
