Another great conversation with historian and author, Joe Connell. Joe's an encyclopedia on the subject of the Irish war of independence and subsequent Irish civil war. His latest book, "The Terror War" focuses on the ugly reality of terrorist tactics used by both the British and Irish forces. He also discusses the lingering trauma, sometimes for generations, that result from terror tactics. All the wars since the beginning of time have involved terrorist tactics. It's ugly and not fun to talk about but if you want to really understand the realities of wars like the Irish war of independence, then Joe's book is a must read. We delve deep into the topic in this conversation. Enjoy!
