The Civil War in Kildare
James Durney (Author)
The Civil War left a more violent mark on Kildare than the War of Independence had. As a garrison county with military barracks situated on the main Cork and Limerick roads in Naas, Newbridge, the Curragh and Kildare town, it had a low level of republican military activity. By the Truce of 1921, however, Kildare's two IRA battalions had evolved into quite efficient military units. 'A book that is guaranteed to rouse a lot of interest..' ' ... easy to read while at the same time authoritative.' Leinster Leader 'A new book by James Durney, ' The Civil War in Kildare', tells the little known story of events in the county during the period.' Evening Echo ' ... a riveting read ...
