This book provides a scholarly yet accessible account of the Irish
nationalist youth organisation Na Fianna Eireann and its
contribution to the Irish Revolution in the period 1909-23.
Countess Constance Markievicz and Bulmer Hobson established Na
Fianna Eireann, or the Irish National Boy Scouts, as an Irish
nationalist antidote to Robert Baden-Powell's scouting movement
founded in 1908. Between their establishment in 1909 and near
decimation during the Irish Civil War of 1922-23, Na Fianna Eireann
recruited, trained and nurtured a cadre of young nationalist
activists who made an essential contribution to the struggle for
Irish independence. This book will be of interest to historians and
students specialising in the history of the Irish Revolution, youth
culture, paramilitarism and twentieth-century Ireland. It will also
appeal to the general reader with an interest in the history of the
Irish Revolution. -- .
