McCarthy gives a fascinating insight to the Volunteer Movement in Cobh, how they extended and built up a potent guerrilla movement throughout East Cork, and played a pivotal role in earning Cork the title of the Rebel County. He documents the evolution of the local volunteers post civil war, and the progress of the republican struggle.
