The Irish Civil War: A Photographic: A Photographic Record - Tapa blanda

An examination of five years in the birth of a nation - from the break-up of the Irish parliament into pro- and anti-treaty factions in the summer of 1921 to the aftermath of the bloody fighting in 1924 - preserved by the camera lens. George Morrison shows the photographs he has amassed - many restored to enhance detail - in context, recording who photographed them, when, and for what purpose. Tim Pat Coogan provides a text which sets the events of the Civil War in their chronological order. The book includes a chapter on propaganda photography.

Tim Pat Coogan was editor of the Irish Press and is now recognised as Ireland's leading popular historian of the twentieth century. He is based in Dublin, Ireland.
