In this book which was first published in 1970, author Galen
Broeker traces the events of a crucial period in the struggle of
the British government to bring law and order to rural Ireland. He
demonstrates that throughout the forty years following the union a
major challenge to government in Ireland was the sporadic violence
that seemed endemic to the rural south and west. Organizations of
Irish peasants terrorized the countryside in protest against a
political and economic system that seemed to threaten their very
existence. The formation in 1814 of the Peace Preservation Force is
examined. This was the first in a long series of experiments aimed
at an efficient and impartial system of law enforcement. This title
will be of interest to student of history and criminology.
