Description de l’éditeur
In this short monograph, Daniel Ford combines a survey of the literature with the memories of his father, one of the Irish Republican Army volunteers who battled British forces during and after the First World War. Though the rebellion was settled by the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, IRA diehards fought the new Irish government for two bloody years.
Ford concludes that the rebellion and civil war was in many ways the first modern insurgency, prefiguring some of the same tactics used by Islamists today. About 4000 words, with photographs. A "long essay" submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in War Studies, King's College London.
