The IRA: A Documentary History 1916-2005

This collection of photographs and original documents, many never seen outside of the archives, is the first documentary survey history of 90 years of the IRA. It traces the organization from its origins, through the War of Independence in 1919 and down to the present day. These evocative documents, leaflets, posters and newspapers speak for themselves, but are supported by a short, authoritative text from historian Brian Hanley.
