Bringing to life the too often ignored experience of Donegal during the War of Independence, this book shows that while the conflict may have resulted in lower casualty rates in Donegal than in other places, it nonetheless coincided with a political and civil awakening that saw a radicalisation of a generation of young people and the empowerment of a people.

Liam Ó Duibhir is a native of Donegal and the author of Mercier's recently published The Donegal Awakening. The book is the first fruit of his efforts to tell the real history of Donegal's War of Independence and Civil War experiences. He is currently completing a follow up running from the Truce period that tells the story of Donegal during the Civil War.
