A City in Turmoil

"Uncovers unknown and neglected aspects of the Irish Revolution, including the role that the Bank of Ireland played in keeping the city solvent, the rise of the Municipal Reform Association to challenge the hegemony of Sinn Fein and Labour, how one of Ireland's leading businessmen started out as a bagman for Michael Collins, and how, ultimately, many Dubliners found it easier to sympathize with the fight for the Republic than participate in or pay for it." --Publisher description.
