This is a comprehensive and scholarly study of socialist
republicanism in independent Ireland between the wars. The 1934
Republican Congress movement exemplified the socialist republican
stance, holding that 'a Republic of a united Ireland will never be
achieved except through a struggle which uproots capitalism on its
way'. In this carefully argued study, Richard English demonstrates
that the contradictory analysis which characterized the republican
left during these years explains its political failure. He explores
the mentality which typified republicans during the formative years
of independent Ireland, and shows how their solipsistic zealotry
was simultaneously self-sustaining and self-defeating. Dr English
examines the complex relationship between economics and nationalism
in the Irish Free State and the way in which this relationship
determined the policies and success of the dominant Fianna Fail
party. Radicals and the Republic is an important book which
unravels the politics of a significant Irish republican cult and
illuminates our reading of the history of independent Ireland.
