Rezensionen

"The Irish Civil War and Society: Politics, Class, and Conflict offers a welcome new approach by looking at the social dimensions of the conflict to illuminate its causes, character, and outcomes. ... This well-researched work provides interesting new information and judicious assessments. ... He provides a very useful first insight into the experiences of republicans in the Free State after downing arms, which opens up an almost entirely neglected field of research." (Joost Augusteijn, American Historical Review, Vol. 121 (3), June, 2016)
