But both sides used terror - murder, burnings, shearing women's hair - to intimidate the Irish population. British Field Marshal Henry Wilson said of the Black and Tans: 'It was the business of the government to govern. If these men ought to be murdered, then the government ought to murder them.' Michael Collins could equally chillingly say: 'Careful application of terrorism is also an excellent form of communication.' The actions of the British and Irish frequently mirrored one another - an uncomfortable reality of the War of Independence. This book examines the trauma of the times - both the exceptional and the ordinary - through a diverse range of topics.
