All the fatalities of the Irish Civil War have been listed for the first time in a major new book which sheds light on one of the defining episodes of Irish history.

The landmark publication, Atlas of the Irish Civil War: New perspectives, launched in Dublin on Thursday night, commits to print for the very first time a list of all the combatant and civilian fatalities of the war, and features contributions from more than 90 scholars from Ireland, the UK, and the US, with more than 400 colour photographs, paintings, archival documents, and a series of newly-created maps.
