Offaly-based Turkish journalist examines a workers' soviet set up during the War of Independence Reporter: editor@tullamoretribune.ie Journalist Çagdaş Gökbel translated into Turkish this interview he conducted with Liam Cahill about the Limerick Soviet and it appeared in SOL newspaper. '); '); THERE are special periods in the history of every nation that are hidden but there are intellectuals who will remind society of these periods that shine light on humanity. Liam Cahill is one of them. The endless curiosity and childish excitement of the intellectuals are the condition for progressing on this blessed road. The interview you will read is typical of this excitement. Thousands of kilometres away from Turkey, while continuing my research on the history of the Limerick Soviet, I met author Liam Cahill. The moment I contacted Liam, he signed his book and sent it to my address. Thus, while the story of a forgotten revolution is on a long journey at the same time it is coming to life again in the language of a country of 90 million. Sometimes there are events in the history of nations that cease to be local and turn into actions that shine light on the whole world. His book “Forgotten Revolution: The Limerick Soviet 1919” is just one of these powerful acts.
