The Fall of Dublin

3.4/5 ( ratings)

In the early hours of Good Friday, 14 April 1922, anti-Treaty members of the IRA occupied the Four Courts in Dublin. This was an open challenge to the authority of the Provisional Government and, on the morning of 28 June, the new National Army started to shell the building. These were the first shots of the Irish Civil War.

The Fall of Dublin is an account of the attack on the Four Courts and the subsequent fighting in Dublin in June and July 1922. Using new sources, the book challenges many of the established ideas about the fighting in Dublin and sheds new light on the effect of the combat on the men and women on both sides of the divide. The battle of the Four Courts was only the beginning of a bitter Civil War, the effects of which are still felt to this day.
