In the 1880s a New York-based faction of militant Irish
nationalists conducted the first urban bombing campaign in history,
targeting symbolic public buildings in Britain with homemade bombs.
This book investigates the people and ideas behind this spectacular
new departure in revolutionary violence. Employing a transnational
approach, the book reveals connections and parallels between the
'dynamiters' and other revolutionary groups active at the time and
demonstrates how they interacted with currents in revolution, war
and politics across Europe, the United States and the British
Empire. Reconstructing the life stories of individual dynamiters
and their conceptual and ethical views on violence, it offers an
innovative picture of the dynamics of revolutionary organizations
as well as the political, social and cultural factors which move
people to support or condemn acts of political violence.
