His witness statement to the Bureau of Military History has already been published, but this fascinating biography by his granddaughter, Aideen Carroll, puts that story in perspective and rounds it off with a look at his political career up to the ’50s.

While the study is an affectionate profile, it does show that “Moylan was an enigmatic and difficult character”. He had a tendency to talk first with his fists.
