In response to requests from Leitrim people in America, the author is now travelling to New York to launch the book and to speak about Leitrim’s Republican story.
The author, Cormac Ó Súilleabháin, is from Ballinamore and he spent thirteen years researching the book which covers the War of Independence, the Irish Civil War, historic events in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s and also covering the period of The Troubles, as they affected Leitrim.
The author, Cormac Ó Súilleabháin, will speak at the launch. Copies of the book will be available and can be signed by the author. Everyone welcome. Fáilte roimh cách.
