This book explores the impact, both immediate and in its longer
historical perspective, of the First World War upon Ireland across
the broadest range of experience - nationalist, unionist, Catholic,
Protestant - and in civilian social, economic and cultural terms,
as well as purely military. Underscoring the work is a belief that
the Great War is the single most central experience in
twentieth-century Ireland and that the events of the war years,
whether at home in Dublin during the Easter Rising or at the
European battlefront, constitute a 'seamless robe' of Irish
experience. The book also explores cultural responses to the war
and its commemoration since 1918, up to the dedication of the Irish
'Peace Tower' in Belgium in November 1998. It argues that
identifying and exploring the Irish Great War experience can
contribute to the contemporary Irish peace process.
