This event will centre on the new Atlas of the Irish Civil War, the latest volume in the award-winning Atlas Series.

It presents fresh perspectives on, and a nuanced understanding of, the history of the Irish Civil War (1922–3). Featuring contributions from over ninety leading scholars from a range of disciplines, this book provides new insights into the conflict’s regional, national and international dimensions. It includes the first-ever listing of Civil War fatalities and original explorations of issues including propaganda, gender, trauma, culture, labour, land and class.
