Reviews
While the Black and Tans served for less than two years, their disastrous deployment has lived long in Irish cultural memory. Through dispassionate research and fastidiously marshalled sources, D. M. Leeson undermines many enduring misapprehensions that still surround this most controversial of police forces., ...lifts the lid on a discreditable episode of recent British history and paves the way for future research., "This is an impressive and important book aimed at dispelling the myths surrounding one of the most notorious police actions in British History. Among Irish historians, this book is sure to become the standard work on the Black and Tans and will, one hopes, go some way toward dispelling the myths that still surround these men. This is revisionist history in the best possible sense of the term."--Journal of British Studies "This book is an important contribution to the understanding of a controversial episode in Irish history. It deserves a wide audience. Highly recommended."--CHOICE, A fresh, often exciting narrative that convinces the reader that there has indeed been a distortion in the general image of the men in these two forces...The Black and Tans will repay close reading by anyone interested in those savage years of the Irish War of Independence, when trust was hard to come by and brotherhood a flexible term for many involved in the horrors. Leeson has convincingly questioned a great deal of received opinion, and probed the way it was received inthe first place., "This book is an important contribution to the understanding of a controversial episode in Irish history. It deserves a wide audience. Highly recommended."--CHOICE, "This is an impressive and important book aimed at dispelling the myths surrounding one of the most notorious police actions in British History.
