This book is a social history of Irish officers in the British army
in the final half-century of Crown rule in Ireland. Drawing on the
accounts of hundreds of officers, it charts the role of military
elites in Irish society, and the building tensions between their
dual identities as imperial officers and Irishmen, through land
agitation, the home rule struggle, the First World War, the War of
Independence, and the partition of Ireland. What emerges is an
account of the deeply interwoven connections between Ireland and
the British army, casting officers as social elites who played a
pivotal role in Irish society, and examining the curious
continuities of this connection even when officers' moral authority
was shattered by war, revolution, independence, and a divided
nation.
