This newest volume in the award-winning Atlas Series offers fresh perspectives and a comprehensive picture of the military and political history of the Irish Civil War.
The centenary of the war (1922-23) has promoted wide-ranging research into that tumultuous and complex period in Irish history. This book contributes to that research with new insights into regional, national, and international dimensions; the first-ever listing of all Civil War fatalities; and original explorations of propaganda, gender, trauma, culture, labour, land and class.
Produced in partnership with the National Library of Ireland, the Atlas of the Irish Civil War: New perspectives is richly illustrated with over 400 photographs, archival documents, a series of newly-created original maps and over 90 contributions by leading scholars from a range of disciplines.
From the editorial team that produced the widely acclaimed Atlas of the Irish Revolution, this volume represents a major and accessible contribution to the historiography of a conflict that has cast a long shadow in Irish life.
