Voices from the Irish Civil War

Described by one commentator as the “unspeakable war" and “a story that nobody dared to tell," the tragic Irish Civil War of 1922-1923 has often been considered one of the darkest periods of the country's history. Much of that story has never been told before..until now with the publication of ground-breaking books such as Síobhra Aiken's 'Spiritual Wounds: Trauma, Testimony and the Irish Civil War.' In this episode of The Hipstorians the Irish historian and author tells us how she uncovered the voices of those who were there and the moving story of what they endured.
