Review
"O'Halpin, an authority on Irish security and intelligence, distills years of research in this comprehensive study of Ireland's defense policy...This book is indispensable for collections on Irish history and politics."--CHOICE
"Eunan O'Halpin argues so in this important new book, the first systematic review of Irish internal and external defense policy from 1922 to the present day...[A]lso offers a skilled analysis of defense policy in the postwar years...Scholarly, but always readable, this book will prove extremely useful to researchers and students studying twentieth-century Ireland or to anyone who wishes to understand the hard realities and public illusions that have shaped the Irish state's response to its enemies."--he Historian

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This fascinating and original book is the first to analyse the evolution of internal security policy and external defence policy in Ireland from independence to the present day. Professor O'Halpin examines the very limited concept of external defence understood by the first generation of Irish leaders, going on to chart the state's repeated struggles with the IRA and with other perceived internal and external threats to stability. He exploresthe state's defence and security relations with Britain and the United States and, drawing extensively on newly released records, he deals authoritatively with problems of subversion, espionage,counterintelligence and codebreaking during the Second World War. In conclusion, the book analyses significant post-Second World War developments, including anti-communist co-operation with Western powers, the emergence of UN service as a key element of Irish foreign and defence policy, the state's response to the Northern Ireland crisis since 1969, and Ireland's difficulties in addressing the collective security dilemmas facing the European Union in the post-Cold Warera. It is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the development of independent Ireland since 1922. This study investigates the interlinked problems of domestic security and national defence in Ireland. Professor O'Halpin describes the development of the army and police since 1922, and examines how the emerging Irish state tried to balance a commitment to military neutrality and independent defence with close co-operation with Britain.
