It will be indispensable reading for those who wish to understand the bloody birth of independent Ireland."

Tom Garvin, Irish Literary Supplement "Dr Hopkinson's outstanding achievement is that he is always concise and yet has produced much the most comprehensive and valuable account of the civil war ever published." Ronan Fanning, New Nation "A model of objectivity and detailed knowledge." James Healy, Studies. "Thoroughly researched and well-written it is a dispassionate account of the most passionate of times." T Ryle Dwyer, Irish Times
