In The Name of The Republic on 3Player
This two-part documentary is a real treat for Irish history buffs because it takes us all the way back to the War of Independence, and looks at the conflict from a new vantage point. The programme looks at the real cost of the War in terms of people abducted, executed and secretly buried at the hands of our own Republican Army. Between trips to archaeological digs, historical reenactments, and a pit stop at the National Archives, there's a wealth of information to absorb. Plus, Professor Eunan O'Halpin really knows his stuff.
