On 4 August 1914 following the outbreak of European hostilities,
large sections of Irish Protestants and Catholics rallied to
support the British and Allied war efforts. Yet less than two years
later, the Easter Rising of 1916 allegedly put a stop to the
Catholic commitment in exchange for a re-emphasis on the national
question. In Ireland and the Great War Niamh Gallagher draws upon a
formidable array of original research to offer a radical new
reading of Irish involvement in the world's first total war.
Exploring the 'home front' and Irish diasporic communities in
Canada, Australia, and Britain, Gallagher reveals that substantial
support for the Allied war effort continued largely unabated not
only until November 1918, but afterwards as well. Rich in social
texture and with fascinating new case studies of Irish
participation in the conflict, this book has the makings of a major
rethinking of Ireland's twentieth century.
