On the Run : The Story of an Irish Freedom Fighter

The Irish War of Independence (1919-1921) consisted to a large degree of a series of reprisal killings between the IRA and the British Crown forces. An important figure in the development of Republicanism and the Irish Republican Brotherhood in the west of Ireland, Colm O'Gaora, was also a leading figure in the first generation of nationalist intellectuals who defined the emergence of the nascent Irish state. On the Run is his memoir, which provides a fascinating insight into a particularly turbulent era in Irish history.
