| Description: |
The full story of the vicious battle between Republican and Provisional Government forces for control of Cork in August of 1922. |
| Synopsis: |
By the sixth week of the Irish Civil War, all eyes turned to Cork, as the National Army readied its climactic attack on the 'rebel capital'. At 2 a.m. on a Bank Holiday Monday, Emmet Dalton and 450 soldiers of the National Army landed at Passage West, in one of the most famous surprise attacks in Irish military history. Their daring amphibious assault knocked the famed Cork IRA onto the back foot, though three more days of stubborn fighting was required for the National Army to secure the city. The retreating IRA left destruction in their wake, setting the stage for Michael Collins' final fatal visit to his home county. For the first time, 'The Battle for Cork' tells the full story of the battle for Cork, showing all the chaos, bravery, humour and misery of the largest engagement of the Irish Civil War and the final defeat of Republican Cork. |
