The Battle for Kilmallock (Military History of the Irish Civil War Series): 3 (Mercier's History of the Irish Civil War) - Softcover
Synopsis
The battle for Kilmallock consisted of ten days of intense fighting in the countryside around Kilmallock in County Limerick, in which the Irish Free State forces, advancing south from Limerick city, found their path blocked by anti-Treaty IRA troops, dug into the villages of Bruff,Bruree and Patrickswell. The battle was brought on by the fall of Limerick city to Free State forces earlier in the year. The fighting ended with the retreat of the anti-Treaty fighters, led by Liam Deasy, and the occupation of Kilmallock by Free State forces. In 'The Battle for Kilmallock', John O'Callaghan details the key strategies, characters, battles, chaos and bravery in the National Army's attempt to break through tthe Republican position, which produced the only 'line battle' of the war with the two sides facing each other along clear front-lines.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. When the Free State army captured Limerick city in mid-July 1922, Republican forces retreated south towards Cork and made their next determined stand around Kilmallock. This area barred the way to the heartland of the 'Munster Republic'. In one of the largest and most intense battles of the Irish Civil War, Free State and Republican troops fought for possession of Kilmallock, Bruree and Bruff, with the latter two towns repeatedly changing hands. The eventual Free State occupation of Kilmallock was a vital turning point in the war. In The Battle for Kilmallock John O'Callaghan outlines the goals of the opposing forces, assesses their respective strengths, charts the course of the combat over two weeks in late July and early August, examines key strategies, and evaluates the role of leading personalities. The book challenges inherited wisdom about the engagement and offers sobering insights into the conduct of the belligerents. Seller Inventory # 006120
