Published by Anvil Press, Kerry, 1974, 1st Edition paperback original.
One of the ( surprisingly few ) key works on the history of Irish police and policing. Breathnach was a former garda himself, and thus had an additional insight into policing, frequently disputed in these islands . He examines the earliest organised efforts at providing a police force - Baronial Constabularies, Peace Preservation Forces, The Irish Constabulary, the RIC, DMP, Revenue Police, Civic Guard and, post partition, the Garda Síóchana and the RUC. The emphasis is on the evolution and role of police in what is now the Republic.
