I'll be visiting Ireland soon and I've always been interested in knowing more about the IRA and Ireland's history. I'd like to watch a series of documentaries and read some books, preferably in chronological order of the events taking place so I can frame each more recent event in light of the previous events.

Currently on my list is this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Documentaries/comments/4crofy/1916_the_irish_rebellion_2016_narrated_by_liam/

I'd like to have a good understanding of how far back the IRA's history goes and how it transformed over the years of it's existence.
