Notes: | Liam Deasy was an IRA officer in the 3rd Cork Brigade (West Cork) during the War of Independence. He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and sided with the anti-treaty IRA in the Civil War. He was in command of a band of republican guerrillas in West Cork where Michael Collins was killed. He was captured by the Free State forces and sentenced to death. He was spared execution when he signed a document ordering the men under his command to surrender themselves to the government. "Brother Against Brother" is his civil war memoir.
