[PAR] [TLE] Black and Tans [SEP] The Black and Tans (Irish: "Dúchrónaigh" ), officially the Royal Irish Constabulary Special Reserve, was a force of Temporary Constables recruited to assist the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) during the Irish War of Independence.  The force was the brainchild of Winston Churchill, then British Secretary of State for War.  Recruitment began in Great Britain in late 1919.  Thousands, many of them British Army veterans of World War I, answered the British government's call for recruits.  Most of the recruits came from Britain, although it also had some members from Ireland.  Their role was to help the RIC maintain control and fight the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the army of the Irish Republic.  The nickname "Black and Tans" arose from the colours of the improvised uniforms they initially wore, composed of mixed khaki British Army and rifle green RIC uniform parts.  The Black and Tans became infamous for their attacks on civilians and civilian property.

The book describes the actions of Barry's Third West Cork Brigade during the Anglo-Irish War, such as the ambushes at Kilmichael and Crossbarry, as well as numerous other less known attacks made by the Brigade against the British Army, Black and Tans, the Auxiliary Division and Royal Irish Constabulary.
