The principal events - the Siege of Londonderry, the Battles of the Boyne and Aughrim, and the two Sieges and Treaty of Limerick - have subsequently become totems around which opposing constructions of Irish history have been erected. John Childs, one of the foremost authorities on warfare in Early Modern Britain and Europe, cuts through myth and the accumulations of three centuries to present a balanced, detailed narrative and chronology of the campaigns. He argues that the struggle was typical of the late seventeenth-century, principally decided by economic resources and attrition in which the 'small war' comprising patrols, raids, occupation of captured regions by small garrisons, police actions against irregulars and attacks on supply lines was more significant in determining the outcome than the set piece battles and sieges 606 $aAughrim, Battle of, Aughrim, Galway, Ireland, 1691 606 $aBattles$zIreland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aBoyne, Battle of the, Ireland, 1690 606 $2British & Irish history 607 $aDerry (Northern Ireland)$xHistory$ySiege, 1688-1689 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yWilliam and Mary, 1689-1702 607 $aIreland$xHistory$yWar of 1689-1691$xCampaigns 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAughrim, Battle of, Aughrim, Galway, Ireland, 1691. 615 0$aBattles$xHistory 615 0$aBoyne, Battle of the, Ireland, 1690. 676 $a941.506 700 $aChilds$b John$f1949-$01038822 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461822903321 996 $aThe Williamite wars in Ireland, 1688-91$92460642 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03890nam 2200637Ia 450 001 9910452697103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-8093-8770-0 035 $a(CKB)2550000001106342 035 $a(EBL)1354670 035 $a(OCoLC)856870544 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000950976 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11520875 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000950976 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10880419 035 $a(PQKB)10902799 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1354670 035 $a(OCoLC)855906253 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse30111 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1354670 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10739210 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL506700 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001106342 100 $a20061115d2007 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aWings over Illinois$b[electronic resource] /$fArthur E.
