This history of Anglo-American efforts to overturn Ireland’s
neutrality policy during the Second World War adds complexity to
the grand narrative of the Western Alliance against the Axis
Powers, exploring relatively unexamined emotional, personalised,
and gendered politics that underlay policymaking and alliance
relations. Friends and enemies combines the methodologies of
diplomatic history through its close reliance on archival
documentation with attention to new theoretical understandings
regarding the roles played by personal friendships and enmities and
competing masculine ideologies among national leaders. Including,
Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Eamon de Valera, and
their close foreign policy advisers in London, Washington DC and
Dublin, as they constructed national identities and defined their
nations’ special relationships in time of war. -- .
