    The Violence - Part 3
    Aug 19 2022

    The Civil war was noted for episodes of outrage that many felt sank to the depth of depravity. Many of these occurred in Munster and in particular in Co Kerry. But what was the real character of the violence, and how did it get so out of hand among combatants who until the previous year had all been united in fighting a common enemy, the British crown forces.

    In this episode of the Civil War series Dr Gemma Clark from the University of Exeter examines the character of the violence in the conflict.
