Kieran Glennon, *From Pogrom to Civil War: Tom Glennon and the Belfast IRA*. Cork, Ireland: Mercier Press, 2013.

When the Belfast pogrom, which targeted Catholics, broke out in July 1920, Tom Glennon was a 20-year-old officer in the IRA. Over the next three years, he transitioned from fierce street battles in Belfast to organizing a flying column in the Glens of Antrim, then executing a bold escape from captivity in the Curragh, and finally facing the brutality of civil war in Donegal. Marked by his experiences, he aimed to build a new life in Australia, only to encounter more tragedy. His complete silence regarding his past meant that nearly eighty years went by before his son discovered the truth about his mother's death.Now, utilizing contemporary documents along with the testimonies of both allies and adversaries, his grandson not only narrates the story of Tom Glennon's life but also revisits the myths surrounding the pogrom and scrutinizes Michael Collins' Northern Policy, posing the question: were the Northern IRA victims of a horrific betrayal?
