Louth

The Irish Revolution, 1912–23

Donal Hall

'A hugely important local, political, social and military history of Co. Louth from an accomplished author and renowned authority on his home county ... Dr Hall's excellent research in the period 1912–1923 wonderfully contextualises the twentieth-century history of the county in a very accessible manner that is essential reading for local historians and those with ancestral links to County Louth', Ireland's Genealogical Gazette (June 2019).

'Donal Hall's Louth volume is a first-class example of the type of detailed archival research - through newspapers, police records, inquest reports and brigade papers ... which is now possible and necessary in order to unravel the dynamic of events in the decade after 1912 ... Hall is particularly good on the battles between various nationalist factions before 1916 and also on the county's war.' Seanchas Ard Mhacha
