New Book on the Ambush

A New Book about the Tourmakeady Ambush 1921 was written and published to coincide with the Centenary Commemoration of the Ambush. The book title is:

Tourmakeady Ambush 1921 - Comóradh Luíochán Thuar Mhic Éadaigh

Written by Séan O’Luideáin & Tomás O'hEánacháin

There were 1,000 books printed, fully funded by MJ Conroy of Cong who sponsored the printing costs. We thank them for their generous assistance in getting the book published. This was a limited edition which has now been fully sold out through the kind help of many local shop outlets. €10,000 from the book sales has gone to the Tourmakeady Ambush Commemoration Committee to fund its various initiatives, particularly the new Centenary Memorial Monument in Srah. We sincerely thank all of you who purchased the book and supported this project.

To assist anyone who did not get to buy the book but still want to read about the rich history around the Tourmakeady Ambush, the committee have decided to make the eBook available for free via our website. This ensures that school children, local history enthusiasts and many War of Independence researchers have free access to the book. Click on the image below to read it!

You can also download it and get a hard copy printed for yourself. Enjoy!
