Offering a fresh new perspective on the history of the end of
Empire, with the Irish and Indian independence movements as its
focus, this book details how each country s nationalist agitators
engaged with each other and exchanged ideas. Using previously
unpublished sources from the Indian Political Intelligence
collection; it chronicles the rise and fall of movements such as
the Indian-Irish Independence League and the League Against
Imperialism whose histories have, until now, remained deeply hidden
in the archives. The maturation of the Indo-Irish nexus documented
in this book eventually culminated with the establishment of
diplomatic ties between both independent states in the 1960s, yet
the British government initially interpreted these transnational
links as a potential threat to the Empire and monitored their
development through its security services. O Malley highlights
opaque aspects of the careers of popular figures from both Irish
and Indian history including Subhas Chandra Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru,
Eamon de Valera and Maud Gonne McBride at points when their paths
crossed and also looks at how many one-time agitators went on to
become international statesmen. This book encompasses aspects of
Irish, Indian, British, Imperial and intelligence history and will
be of interest to students, teachers and general history
enthusiasts alike. -- .
