Mondays at the Mess: The Civil War in Dublin

This event has ended

Richmond Barracks, Monday 11th July

Within a few short years of being imprisoned together in Richmond Barracks after the Easter Rising, former comrades would take up arms against each other in a Civil War. How did this Civil War come to be, and what form did it take in the capital?  John Dorney's study of the Civil War was described by Dermot Bolger as “a well researched and chilling book, this is the ultimate prophylactic against any nostalgia for that period.”

About the Speaker:
John Dorney is an independent historian alongside being the chief editor and writer of The Irish Story website.
