Bol An insightful account of the Civil War in Dublin including the attack on the Four Courts. In the early hours of Good Friday, 14 April 1922, anti-Treaty members of the IRA occupied the Four Courts in Dublin. This was an open challenge to the authority of the Provisional Government and, on the morning of 28 June, the new National Army started to shell the building. These were the first shots fired in the Irish Civil War. The Fall of Dublin is an account of the attack on the Four Courts and the subsequent fighting in Dublin in June and July 1922. Using new sources, the book challenges many of the established ideas about the fighting in Dublin and sheds new light on the effect of the combat on the men and women on both sides of the divide. The battle of the Four Courts was only the beginning of a bitter Civil War, the effects of which are still felt to this day. Focusing on the people and the decisons they made, 'The Fall of Dublin' examines the attack on the Four Courts and the subsequent fighting in Dublin in June and July 1922 which signalled the beginning of the Irish Civil War. With the use of new sources the book challenges many of the pre-conceived thoughts on the fighting in Dublin – the role of the leadership on both sides, the personalities of those involved and even the destruction of the Four Courts. These sources not only shed new light on the conflict itself, but more importantly they are invaluable in telling the stories of the ordinary men and women on both sides of the divide who for many years have been forgotten. They include memoirs from people on the ground, military history bureau witness statements, a complete garrison list of people in the Four Courts, a copy of the army constitution and the proposed Free State constitution, and a copy of the republican proclamation.
