The previously uncollected letters of one of the most charismatic figures to emerge from the Irish War of Independence during his incarceration at the hands of the Free State Government. A republican hero at the end of the war of liberation, O'Malley remained with the Anti-Treaty IRA during the internecine strife of the Civil War and was imprisoned by his former comrades. The letters he wrote during this period shed light on the conflict between former friends as well as his experiences as a republican revolutionary.
