Présentation de l'éditeur
In size and tone, Denis Barry's funeral cortege in the midst of a bloody civil war was similar to those that marked the burials of Tomás MacCurtain and Terence McSwiney and, in more peaceful times, of Christy Ring and Jack Lynch. But who was the Unknown Commandant? A martyr and a hero to his countrymen, Denis Barry is overlooked today. This book seeks to rescue this hugely respected Cork man from relative anonymity. Denis Barry toiled in the shadows of McSwiney and MacCurtain in the tumultuous period of the Irish War of Independence. A brave soldier, patriot and sportsman, hunger strike ended his life at the Curragh Military Prison in 1923 for the cause he believed in.
Biographie de l'auteur

A nephew of the book's subject he is passionate about the largely forgotten history of many of our patriots. This project began innocently enough in a graveyard and turned into a labour of love.
