Havoc: The Auxiliaries in Ireland's War of Independence

A history of the British Army's Auxiliaries division, who fought a brutal guerilla war against Irish rebels in the Irish War of Independence. Trained for swift, surgical assaults and sent into a war zone with little or no understanding of the conflict or the locals, the Auxiliary Division of the RIC trailed a wake of death, hatred, and destruction. This book provides a balanced examination of their origins and operations, without glossing over the brutal details.
