This book examines a neglected period in the history of the IRA and
looks at the acceptability and success of internment as an
expedient in the Irish government's ongoing struggle with
republican subversive organisations during both the Second World
War and the border campaign. The book looks at the reasons for the
subsequent drift away from the use of this measure, despite its
previous successes in containing the IRA threat to the Irish State.
It draws extensively on previously unavailable primary source
material in various archives in both Ireland and Britain. The oral
testimony of many surviving contemporaries is supplemented by an
in-depth examination of the files of the Irish government, thereby
presenting a detailed political assessment of the events under
consideration.In addition, the voluminous records relating to the
Lawless Case held in the Attorney General's Office have been
particularly valuable in documenting, for the first time, the
unprecedented domestic legal proceedings in this landmark action.
The book considers the overall impact of the Lawless Case in
influencing the future direction of Irish counter-insurgency policy
and the subsequent drift away from the use of internment as an
acceptable expedient in the State's ongoing struggle with
subversives.
