ONE MAN'S IRELAND Memoirs of Dan
Mulvihill, Maverick Republican
Owen O'Shea
In this unrepentant and revealing memoir, Dan
Mulvihill, a leading figure in Irish republicanism recounts his fight
for an Irish Republic over several decades and his central
involvement in key events throughout the twentieth century.
Dan Mulvihill was at the heart of many of the most
iconic and tumultuous events during Ireland’s revolutionary years. He
was an IRA volunteer who fought and killed in the name of Ireland, a
loyal ally of Éamon de Valera – who he smuggled out of Dublin at the
beginning of the Civil War – a vehement opponent of the Anglo-Irish
Treaty, a member of Liam Lynch’s staff in the anti-Treaty IRA, a
prisoner and hunger striker, a spy and intelligence officer.
In One
Man’s Ireland, Mulvihill details his life story from 1916
to the early 1980s, describing the seminal events in the history of
the country as well as the many key figures in republicanism in his
native Kerry and nationally. A self-styled maverick and committed
revolutionary, Dan Mulvihill was a largely forgotten figure in Irish
history, until now.
