Reseña del libro "The Bloodied Field: Croke Park. Sunday 21 November 1920 (en Inglés)"
On the morning of 21 November 1920, Jane Boyle walked to Sunday Mass in the church where she would be married five days later. That afternoon she went with her fiancé to watch Tipperary and Dublin play a Gaelic football match at Croke Park. Across the city fourteen men lay dead in their beds after a synchronised IRA attack designed to cripple British intelligence services in Ireland. Trucks of police and military rumbled through the city streets as hundreds of people clamoured at the metal gates of Dublin Castle seeking refuge. Some of them were headed for Croke Park.Award-winning journalist and author Michael Foley recounts the extraordinary story of Bloody Sunday in Croke Park and the 90 seconds of shooting that changed Ireland forever. In a deeply intimate portrait he tells for the first time the stories of those killed, the police and military personnel who were in Croke Park that day, and the families left shattered in its aftermath, all against the backdrop of a fierce conflict that stretched from the streets of Dublin and the hedgerows of Tipperary to the halls of Westminster.Updated with new information and photographs.Table of ContentsContentsNames and Acronyms 13Cast of Principal Characters 15Prologue 21The Invisible War 34PART I POLITICS AND WAR, 1918–19201 The Boy with the Penny Package 452 The Outlaws 563 The Reluctant General 784 The Heritage of Hate 97PART II GAELIC FOOTBALL IN DUBLIN AND TIPPERARY, AND THE RISE OF THE GAA, 1884–19205 A New Force 1196 Faith Restored 1407 The Brainy Bunch 1568 The Challenge 170PART III CROKE PARK AND BLOODY SUNDAY, 21 NOVEMBER 19209 Morning – 7am to Midday 18710 Afternoon – 11am to 3.25pm 19911 The Bloodied Field – 3.25pm to 5.30pm 21412 The Aftermath 231PART IV THE BLOODY SUNDAY INQUIRIES AND THE SEARCH FOR TRUTH, 1920–192113 The Violence of Truth 24714 The Funerals 26515 The Inquiries 28016 War Stories 29917 The Dead 319Postscript 323Selected Bibliography 327Index 337
