The IRA Greenbook
The Green Book is a training and induction manual issued by the Irish Republican Army to new volunteers. It was used by the post-Irish Civil War Irish Republican Army (IRA) and Cumann na mBan, (« League of Women »), along with later incarnations such as the Provisional IRA (IRA). It includes a statement of military objectives, tactics and conditions for military victory against the British government. This military victory was to be achieved as part of « the ongoing liberation of Ireland from foreign occupiers ». The Green Book has acted as a manual of conduct and induction to the organisation since at least the 1950s.
