My fight for Irish freedom

A first-person memoir recounts involvement in an armed campaign for national independence, tracing the author's recruitment, training, and participation in guerrilla operations. It narrates raids on military and munitions targets, a dramatic prison rescue, ambushes and barrack attacks, close escapes and repeated wounds, and the operational details of small-unit actions. The narrative also records political tensions, the uneasy truce, attempts to prevent fratricidal conflict, and the author's capture and reflections on the toll of violence on comrades and community.
