Product Description

Review
.,."a welcome contribution to the existing literature on an important subject. There is a need for students of this era to better understand how it was that Irish revolutionaries in 1919, on their own, came to adopt tactics of unconventional warfare that would in fact serve as a primer for a number of people's wars later in the century. Kautt is more sensitive to the importance of this phenomenon than are a good many of historians of this period."-Albion

Product Description
An analysis of the Anglo-Irish War of 1916-1921 using the framework of a people's war, this study explains how one of the smallest nations on earth emerged victorious against one of the world's most powerful empires. It is a critical study of insurgent and counter-insurgent campaigns in a controversial and often misunderstood conflict. The Republic won in 1921, but what did it win? The Irish succeeded in securing Home Rule on their own terms when England refused to give in. Meanwhile the Crown Forces gained valuable experience in a form of war that would continue to plague them decades later. Appendices include information on the political, military and parliamentary organizations in Ireland; important Irish political documents; songs of the rebellion; and a critical bibliography.
