After civil war, can the winners commemorate their victory, hailing
their conquering heroes with the blood of their former comrades
still fresh on their boots? Or should they cover themselves in
shame and hope that the nation soon forgets? In this book, Anne
Dolan explores the tensions between memory and forgetting in
twentieth-century Ireland. By examining the memory of winning the
Irish Civil War, she discusses the extent to which it has been used
to serve party political ends, where private grief finds
consolation when the dead have fallen from political favour, and
how the dead are remembered when no one wanted to fight the war.
The book addresses the Irish Civil War at its most public point: at
the statues and crosses, and in the ritual and rhetoric of
commemoration. It will be of central interest to all students and
scholars of European history and politics.
