Atlas of the Irish Civil War

Atlas of the Irish Civil War brings together the most distinguished scholars of Ireland to shed new light on the military events, political debates, social experiences, and impact of a war that changed the course of history. Carefully argued, lavishly illustrated, and beautifully produced, it will serve as the central text in the field for decades to come. ~Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck, University of London

The civil war, perhaps the most traumatic phase of the Irish revolution, is at last being studied with the careful objectivity it requires. This comprehensive, skilfully designed and superbly produced volume - approachable as well as scholarly - provides an ideal survey. It should be widely read. ~Charles Townshend FBA, Professor Emeritus, Keele University

This is a landmark piece of work-as you would expect from the most exciting team working on the story of modern Ireland. Vivid, fair-minded and beautifully produced. ~Fergal Keane, BBC correspondent and author

The Atlas of the Irish Civil War is another compelling volume from Cork University Press. It lays bare as never before the tragedy of the Civil War in all its bitterness, sadness and complexity. The newly researched maps and the hundreds of images that accompany the text provide a range of fresh insights and nuanced ways of comprehending this traumatic event and its profound and lasting legacy. In terms of scale it operates both at the global and the local while also providing intimate portraits of the impact of the war on families and individuals. The naming and mapping of the dead of the Civil War is an achievement in itself. This superb publication is a model of interdisciplinary scholarship and a magisterial contribution to our understanding of a defining event in modern Irish history. ~Maurice Manning, Chancellor NUI -2009-24
