More than any other book of the period, On Another Man's Wound captures the feel of Ireland-the way people lived, their attitudes and beliefs-and paints brilliant cameo sketches of the great personalities of the Rising and the War. Like many of the Irish, O'Malley was largely indifferent to the attempts to establish an independent Ireland-until the Easter Rising of 1916. As the fight progressed his feelings changed and he joined the Irish Republican Army.
Literally, it must say that this book belongs to the most important texts of Irish Revolution, without which it is hardly possibly to understand its events. This is not only personal experience but there are numerous notes of Irish nationalism in general give colourful picture and interpretation of events by the point of active observer. Attentive reader surely gives a tribute to auther's witty and exact notice for situation and persons that determinated the following course of events include the mass of tensions led to Irish Civil War. Ernie is very intelligent teller, and more important, correct and just, his story has no ideological exaggerations, of course, to the degree which would be possible in such circumstance.
