This is the story of Mayo men and women active during the War of Independence and the Civil War, a story largely untold or forgotten. Throughout, there is an attempt at real insight into the lives of participants. The establishment and acceptance of the Garda Síochána and how Mayo adapted to peace while hundreds of Mayo men and women were still imprisoned is explored. The myth that little or nothing happened in Mayo during these troubled times is dispelled forever. • First factual account of War of Independence and Civil War in Mayo • This book is explosive (Taoiseach Enda Kenny, at the launch of the book) •
Dominic Price grew up in Rathfarnham in Dublin close to Padraig Pearse's Scoil Eanna, and often visited his grandparents near Kilmainham Jail. This sparked an interest in Irish history. He also served in the FCA, gaining valuable military experience. A teacher of history, religious education & music, he has a keen interest in traditional Irish music and plays the uilleann pipes, traditional flute and guitar.
