How did Irish and American diplomacy operate in Washington DC and
Dublin during the 1930s era of economic depression, rising fascism
and Nazism? How did the Anglo-American relationship affect
American-Irish diplomatic relations? Why and how did Eamon de
Valera and Franklin D. Roosevelt move their countries towards
neutrality in 1939? This first comprehensive history of American
and Irish diplomacy during the 1930s focuses on formal and informal
diplomacy, examining all aspects of diplomatic life to explain the
relationship between the two administrations from 1932 to 1939.
Bernadette Whelan reveals how diplomats worked on behalf of their
governments to implement Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eamon de
Valera's foreign policies - particularly when Eamon de Valera
believed in the existence of a 'special' transatlantic relationship
but Franklin D. Roosevelt increasingly favoured a strong
relationship with Britain. Drawing on a wide range of under-used
sources, this is a major new contribution to the history of
American and Irish diplomacy and revises our understanding of the
importance of Ireland to a US administration.
