Seven weeks before the Truce of July 1921, the British presence in County Cork consisted of a total of over 12,500 men. Against these British forces stood the Irish Republican Army whose flying columns never exceeded 310 riflemen in the whole of the county. These flying columns were small groups of dedicated Volunteers, severely commanded and disciplined. Constantly on the move, their paramount objective was merely to exist, to strike when conditions were favourable and to avoid disaster at all costs. In 'Guerilla Days in Ireland' Tom Barry describes the setting up of the West Cork flying column, its training and the plan of campaign, which he implemented. In particular he gives his account of the Kilmichael ambush, one of the most controversial episodes of the War of Independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 1781171718\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9781781171714\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Barry, Tom\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Mercier Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mercier Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (May 2013)","offer_id":46081760854213,"sku":"9781781171714","price":23.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9781781171714.jpg?v=1776048886"},{"product_id":"minimanual-of-the-urban-guerrilla","title":"Minimanual of the Urban Guerrilla","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"The accusation of 'violence' or 'terrorism' no longer has the negative meaning it used to have.
