A personal insight into the fighting in Kerry during the Irish revolution (1916-1921), published in America as “Army Without Banners” in 1937. A Commandant-General in the IRA during the Irish War of Independence (1919–1921), Ernie O’Malley (1897-1957) was renowned for his daring operations and organisational skills, especially in rural areas where he helped train local units.
