The General Strike - 1919 [known as The Limerick Soviet] by Jim Kemmy


Kemmy's article on the Limerick Soviet has some serious errors in it. Kemmy was not known for the accuracy of his research and like his own prejudices come through in much of the stuff he wrote.

There are better pieces written about the Limerick Soviet than this one.
