About this audiobook
First published soon after the War of Independence, My Fight for Irish Freedom is Dan Breen's terse, vivid chronicle of the campaign from the Soloheadbeg ambush to the Truce. Mixing reportage with unapologetic polemic, he records ambushes, safe houses, arms raids, and the logistics of rural guerrilla war against the RIC, Black and Tans, and Auxiliaries. Its urgent prose and granular detail give rare insight into command, intelligence, and the moral calculus of violence. Born in County Tipperary and active in the Volunteers and the IRB, Breen fought with the Third Tipperary Brigade alongside Seán Treacy. Repeatedly wounded and relentlessly hunted, he wrote to justify insurgent methods, memorialize comrades, and contest official narratives. Composed close to events, the book is partisan, defiant, and intent on shaping public memory amid the Treaty split. Essential for students of modern Irish history and revolutionary memoir, this volume rewards critical reading: its perspective is partial, but its immediacy and texture are unmatched. For a frontline view of a formative revolution, start here.
Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
