Atlas of the Irish Civil War: The cultural perspectives in the new book on the awful conflict
The cover of the Atlas of the Irish Civil War; along with a cartoon of the era. Donal Ó Drisceoil is one of the editors of the book.
The newly-published Atlas of the Irish Civil War: New perspectives contains a wealth of new material on multiple aspects of that terrible conflict. For example, it identifies all the fatalities for the first time, gives the most detailed treatment yet of the crucial propaganda war, explores British perspectives and broader international dimensions, addresses the hidden history of sexual and gendered violence, and outlines the impact on children and on the lives of ordinary people.
The book also features much of interest in the area of arts and culture. As with the Atlas of the Irish Revolution (2017), we on the editorial team set out to make this complementary volume as accessible and visually attractive as possible. Along with a series of newly created maps, previously unpublished photographs and original documents, many works of visual art are reproduced.
