'Tales Of The Royal Irish Constabulary' Summary
'Tales of the Royal Irish Constabulary' is a collection of stories and anecdotes about the lives and experiences of the RIC, the police force in Ireland before its dissolution in 1922. The author, an anonymous Crown Loyalist, presents a view of the RIC as an organization facing increasing pressure from the rising tide of Irish nationalism and the escalating conflict. The book covers encounters with Sinn Fein insurgents, the Volunteers, and the Black and Tans, shedding light on the complex dynamics of the time. It also provides insights into the personal struggles of the constabulary members, including their interactions with local populations, the threat of violence, and the changing political landscape. Through personal accounts and anecdotes, the book offers a glimpse into the tumultuous period leading up to the creation of the Irish Free State and the disbandment of the RIC, painting a picture of a force caught in the middle of a historical crossroads.Book Details
