Wars bring only destruction; this is evident from the given story. The Irish Civil War (1922–1923) happened because people in Ireland disagreed about how the country should be ruled. Some, like Michael Collins, wanted to accept a deal with Britain that would make Ireland partly free, while others wanted complete freedom right away. The war started on June 28, 1922, when Michael Collins gave the order to attack a group who did not agree with the deal. On a rooftop, a Republican sniper was keeping watch with his rifle, waiting for a chance to strike at his enemies. While shooting at a man in a turreted vehicle, the sniper himself was shot in the right forearm. Who could have attacked the sniper? How would he deal with the shooter? And who could the shooter be? Read this gripping and heartbreaking story to find out the fate of the sniper and the tragic losses faced by all who participate in wars.
