Opis

In this comprehensive study of socialist republicanism in interwar Ireland, the author demonstrates that the contradictory analysis that characterized the republican left explains its political failure. This important book unravels the politics of a significant Irish republican cult and illuminates important issues of class and politics, changing and enriching our reading of the history of independent Ireland.
