The Black and Tans -The British Special Police in Ireland

€10.00

 "Although they were only a small proportion of British forces in Ireland,

they were the toughest, the wildest, and the most feared. They knew

nothing and they cared nothing about Ireland. They were sent there in

March of 1920 by Lloyd George's Coalition Cabinet to make it "a hell

for rebels to live in" They could arrest and imprison anyone at any time.

They murdered civilians. They wore a strange mixture of dark green tunics,

khaki trousers, black belts, and odd headgear. The Irish named them after

a famous pack of wild dogs in Co Limerick,'The Black and Tans'. They

murdered innocent people, burned and looted all over the South and

West of Ireland. this book is an accurate account of an ugly and

harrowing period of Anglo-Irish history."
