This is the most wide-ranging study ever published of political
violence and the punishment of Irish political offenders from 1848
to the founding of the Irish Free State in 1922. Those who chose
violence to advance their Irish nationalist beliefs ranged from
gentlemen revolutionaries to those who openly embraced terrorism or
even full-scale guerilla war. Sean McConville provides a
comprehensive survey of Irish revolutionary struggle, matching
chapters on punishment of offenders with descriptions and analysis
of their campaigns. Government's response to political violence was
determined by a number of factors, including not only the nature of
the offences but also interest and support from the United States
and Australia, as well as current objectives of Irish policy.
