To mark the War of Independence, the Irish Examiner is publishing a four-part podcast series focussing on some of the events from those turbulent times.

Today we publish the third part of the series in which host Michael Clifford talks to UCC historian Dr John Borgonovo about the war which was an early example of guerrilla warfare, fought with the co-operation and consent of the native population.
