The ReImagining Miniseries: The Troubles- Ireland, Civil War & Identity with Nash Flynn

The Poor Prole’s Almanac

We're taking a look at the Irish civil war and the conditions that led up to it and its conclusion with comedian and historian, Nash Flynn. What parallels do we see playing out here in the United States, and what can we learn from the efforts of the IRA?

Note: Michael Collins died in a shootout stemming from a car ambush, not a car bomb.
