| Summary | "Ireland in Travail" by Joice NanKivell Loch and Sydney Loch is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex and tumultuous landscape of Ireland during its struggle for independence, focusing on the experiences and observations of the authors as they navigate a society on the brink of war. The narrative offers insights into both the nationalist and unionist perspectives, enriched by a cast of characters deeply intertwined in the conflict. The beginning of "Ireland in Travail" sets the stage in 1920, where we are introduced to the authors, who are contemplating their journey to Ireland amidst the unrest following World War I. In London, they encounter a secret service agent known as "47," who shares troubling insights about the escalating tensions and the growth of the Irish Republican Army. This encounter ignites their decision to visit Ireland, driven by a desire to witness the situation firsthand. The opening chapters establish a foundation of intrigue and urgency, introducing the personal stakes involved as they seek to understand a nation caught in a struggle for its identity, marked by fear, suspicion, and the complexities of allegiance.
