Book Overview
For the first time in published form, we Men Will Talk to Me - Mayo Interviews records the experiences of the Mayo-based survivors of the War of Independence and the Civil War in Ireland. Many of the individuals whose accounts are in this book were reluctant to speak of their experiences even to their own families. However, they were willing; to talk to Ernie O'Malley, the senior surviving Republican military commander from the period of those struggles, who took on the task of preserving the remaining participants' memories in the 1940s and 1950s. The resulting O'Malley notebooks provide an unrivalled insight into this important period of Irish history, including the activities of the IRA in West, North, East and South Mayo, and in particular the ambushes at Tourmakeady, Kilmeena and Carrowkennedy, and what life was like in the internment camps and prisons for the Mayo Volunteers.
