Explore the harrowing events of December 11-12 1920 in Cork city with Michael Lenihan's comprehensive historical account, Cork Burning. This meticulously researched paperback details the devastating fires that ravaged the commercial and civic heart of the city at the hands of British forces seeking retribution for earlier ambushes. Witness the destruction of Patrick Street and its surroundings, the gutting of City Hall and the Carnegie Library, and the tragic interference with Cork's firemen. Lenihan's work meticulously reconstructs the narrative using eyewitness testimonies and contemporary sources, painting a vivid picture of the destruction and the subsequent attempts by the British government to shift blame onto Cork's own citizens. The book delves into the historical context, including Cork City prior to the burning, the roles of the Black and Tans, Auxiliaries, and K Company, and Republican Cork. It provides a detailed timeline of events leading up to the conflagration, early instances of arson by Crown forces, and the pivotal Kilmichael and Dillon's Cross Ambushes. Furthermore, Cork Burning examines the premises that were destroyed, the subsequent official investigations into the causes, the compensation efforts, and the eventual rebuilding of the city. This edition, first published in paperback in March 2021 and originally in hardcover in 2020, is a BRAND NEW copy, offering 256 pages of compelling historical narrative. A truly exceptional feature of this volume is the extensive collection of photographic images from the period, meticulously gathered by Lenihan, which vividly illustrate the accounts within. The ISBN for this paperback edition is 9781781177921. This edition is a paperback first published in March 2021.
