For the first time, Richard S. Grayson tells the story of the
Dubliners who served in the British military and in republican
forces during the First World War and the Irish Revolution as a
series of interconnected 'Great Wars'. He charts the full scope of
Dubliners' military service, far beyond the well-known Dublin
'Pals', with as many as 35,000 serving and over 6,500 dead, from
the Irish Sea to the Middle East and beyond. Linking two conflicts
usually narrated as separate stories, he shows how Irish
nationalist support for Britain going to war in 1914 can only be
understood in the context of the political fight for Home Rule and
why so many Dubliners were hostile to the Easter Rising. He
examines Dublin loyalism and how the War of Independence and the
Civil War would be shaped by the militarisation of Irish society
and the earlier experiences of veterans of the British army.
