The News from Ireland: Foreign Correspondents and the Irish Revolution

by Maurice Walsh - £12.99  I.B.Tauris & Co (2011)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781848856738 | ISBN 10: 1848856733

The Anglo-Irish war of 1919-1921 was an international historical landmark: the first successful revolution against British rule and the beginning of the end of the Empire. However, the Irish revolutionaries did not win their struggle on the battlefield - their key victory was in mobilising public opinion in Britain and the rest of the world. Journalists and writers flocked to Ireland, where the increasingly brutal conflict was seen as the crucible for settling some of the key issues of the new world order emerging from the ruins of World War One. On trial was the British Empire's claim to be the champion of civilisation as well as the principle of self-determination proclaimed by the American president Woodrow Wilson.
 
The News from Ireland vividly explores the work of British and American correspondents in Ireland as well as other foreign journalists and literary figures. It offers a penetrating and persuasive assessment of the Irish revolution's place in a key moment of world history as well as the role of the press and journalism in the conflict.
 
This important book is essential reading for anyone interested in Irish history and how our understanding of history generally is shaped by the media.
