This book analyses the relationship between the Irish home rule
crisis, the Easter Rising of 1916 and the conscription crisis of
1918, providing a broad and comparative study of war and revolution
in Ireland at the beginning of the Twentieth Century. Destenay
skilfully looks at international and diplomatic perspectives, as
well as social and cultural history, to demonstrate how American
and British, foreign and domestic policies either thwarted or fed,
directly or indirectly, the Irish Revolution. He readdresses-and at
times redresses-the well established, but somewhat inaccurate,
conclusion that Easter Week 1916 was the major factor in
radicalizing nationalist Ireland. This book provides a more nuanced
and gradualist account of a transfer of allegiance: how fears of
conscription aroused the bitterness and mistrust of civilian
populations from August 1914 onwards. By re-situating the Irish
Revolution in a global history of empire and anti-colonialism, this
book contributes new evidence and new concepts. Destenay
convincingly argues that the fears of conscription have been
neglected by Irish historiography and this book offers a fresh
appraisal of this important period of history.
