Michael Lynch & Damian Smyth.

From the day The Beatles arrived in Dublin at the height of Beatlemania in 1963, the Fab Four never hid their love for Ireland.

The IRA in Kerry 1916-21
Sinead Joy.

The traditional view of the IRA in Ireland from 1916-1921 – of heroes living only for the republic – has come in for close scrutiny in recent years. This study dispels some of the myths and gives an alternative profile of the rebels active in Kerry. It questions their reasons for joining and their commitment to the notion of a republic. The result is sometimes critical as it considers the effects of the war on Kerry’s civilian population and the varying level of support for the IRA. Overall this book presents an account of the perceptions of the community as a whole, Irish or British, Catholic or Protestant, fighter or civilian.
