Description: "When the Provisional Government landed troops by sea, the anti-Treaty forces were taken completely by surprise. Although the initial fighting was intense, resistance soon settled into a prolonged period of guerrilla warfare." "By following events up to the general election in 1923, when a degree of normality returned, The Civil War in Kerry shines a light on how the non-combatants of Kerry judged the conflict and how the war shaped the future of politics in the county for decades."--Jacket.
