Liam Lynch

To Declare A Republic

General Liam Lynch was a key figure in the Irish Revolution, and remains one of the most celebrated of his era. In this long-awaited new biography, historian Gerard Shannon delves into a wide array of archival material to create a detailed, nuanced portrait of a hugely significant and influential figure in Irish history.

Gerard Shannon is a resident of the town of Skerries in north county Dublin, with a lifelong interest in modern Irish history.

His history research interests focus on early 20th century Ireland, more specifically, the personalities involved in the political movements of the revolutionary decade and the later consolidating of power in the nascent Irish Free State.
