From 1926 onward, Sinn Fein, which had been instrumental in the
revolutionary period of 1919-23, faded into oblivion. This book
unravels a chapter of history that has not been dealt with in
detail until now, although the operation of the party raises
fundamental questions on issues such as democracy and the role of
history in the construction of a national narrative. Through a
close analysis of newspaper reports, fortnightly Standing committee
minutes, and interviews carried out by the author, it looks at the
manner in which the party operated and put itself forward as the
guardian of Republicanism in Ireland. The book offers a valuable
insight into the meaning of Republicanism, and its narrative
represents an integral part of the political and social fabric of
contemporary Irish society, which will be of relevance to academics
and to all readers with an interest in Irish republicanism. -- .
