Publisher's Synopsis
Tipperary native John Dennehy explores the profound political, economic, military and social impact of the Great War on one Irish county: Tipperary. Little has been written on the impact of the war on everyday life - food prices, the role of women, soldier suicide, foreign refugees. It was a time of contested loyalties at home and unparalled brutality abroad, and while the ordinary citizens were well aware of the bloody toll, thousands continue to enlist.
