S1 EP61 – The Fighting Men Sit Still

The History of Ireland

EpisodeAug 17, 202115m

In this episode we ask what did the men of the IRA and their leaders got up to during the Truce period? The answer starts to shed light on the division within the movement and help us lay down the foundations for one of the saddest parts of Irish history. Image is of Richard Mulcahy.
