The practice of terror in revolutionary Ireland remains a highly
controversial topic, which seldom receives either balanced or
dispassionate treatment. This collection of essays is designed to
illuminate the varied origins, forms and consequences of terror,
whether practised by republicans or forces of the Crown. It is the
fifth production of the Trinity History Workshop, an informal group
of academic historians, research students, and undergraduates
associated with Trinity College, Dublin. The Workshop’s
reputation was established in 1986 by its first collection, Ireland
and the First World War, subsequently reissued by The Lilliput
Press. The current volume is dedicated to the memory of a
distinguished former member, the late Peter Hart, whose studies of
both revolutionary and counter-revolutionary terror continue to
arouse lively and sometimes intemperate debate. Several chapters
emerged from papers delivered at a one-day conference in Trinity
College in November 2010, while others have been specially
commissioned for this book. The contributors, including gifted
postgraduate and undergraduate students as well as prominent
historians, tackle many facets of terror, such as ‘Bloody
Sunday’, the Kilmichael Ambush and the Sack of Balbriggan.
Scholars, students, political activists and all those interested in
the Irish Revolution will find both provocation and enlightenment
in this book. Its purpose is not to assign blame to one party or
another, but to offer varied perspectives on one of the most
contentious periods of Irish history. The book is enhanced by
illustrations, maps and charts.
