This text draws together the various strands of Irish national
security policy and practice in a single chronological study, from
independence in 1922, analyzing the rapid emergence of a complex
external security policy combining an absolute commitment to
military neutrality and independent defence. The author traces the
development of the army and police force in the new Irish state and
the close co-operation with Britain over issues of joint concern
such as security and immigration. He also examines the state's
reaction to the enduring republican threat, casting fresh light on
how far the state was willing to put key constitutional protections
into abeyance in its conflict with the republican movement. The
book also examines the clandestine intelligence activities of
belligerent powers during the World War II, documenting the growth
of the state's close wartime security understandings with the
Allied powers, and the evolution of Cold War links with MI5 and the
CIA. This book is intended for general readers of Irish history and
scholars and students of 20th-century British and Irish history,
and of politics and international relations.
