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 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-$01680954 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970862703321 996 $aThe Williamite wars in Ireland, 1688-91$94336206 997 $aUNINA
