Towards Ireland Free

“Towards Ireland Free, first published in 1973, is the compelling memoir of one of the Irish War of Independence’s key commanders. Joining the Volunteers in 1917, Deasy rose to lead the West Cork Brigade, recounting with clarity and restraint the tense, hope-filled years of Ireland’s struggle for self-rule. His narrative captures both the intensity of local resistance and the human spirit behind it, offering vivid portraits of comrades and community. From daring coastal raids to the famous ambushes at Kilmichael and Crossbarry, Towards Ireland Free stands as one of the most authentic and resonant accounts of Ireland’s revolutionary years.” Read more...
