Endgame I is a fast moving show that takes you back to Cork in the opening weeks of 1921. The war develops a new ferocity with the declaration of martial law. The episode is based around one of the enduring controversies of the war - the kidnapping of the widow Maria Lindsay. The episode also looks at the IRA's worst defeat - the Clonmult ambush and the largest battle of the war - Crossbarry. Then we move to Dublin and finish with the IRA assault on the Customs House.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Sound by Jason Looney</p><p>Additional Research Sam McGrath&nbsp;</p><p>Additional Narrations by Aidan Crowe and Therese Murray</p><p><br></p><p>Hand painted pewter figures of Irish Revolutionary - https://irishhistory.bigcartel.com/category/handcrafted-historic-models</p>","author_name":"Fin Dwyer"}
