Bob Keating studied History at University College Galway.
In the document he explores the role played by his native South Tipperary in the War of Independence, in particular through the pivotal events at Soloheadbeg and Goatenbridge.
He also examines the respective contributions of the two great national figures of the day, de Valera and Collins, and indicates how their influences are still very real in the political landscape of today.
