Synopsis

An open letter on Ireland, America, and the war that reshaped loyalties.

This book presents a contemporary voice from 1918 that argues for Irish self-determination within the context of World War I, highlighting the tensions between Irish nationalists, American supporters, and Allied aims.

Through a sequence of public statements, editorials, and responses, the text examines Ulster resistance, the Home Rule debate, and the role of Americans of Irish origin in the war effort. It contrasts political loyalties, calls for diplomatic action, and critiques those who would use “inexorable logic” to justify particular policies.

  • Historic arguments about Irish independence and British policy during World War I.
  • Debates over conscription, neutrality laws, and loyalty in the United States.
  • Public reactions from newspapers and political figures, including responses to open letters and conventions.
  • A window into how Irish and American voices framed alliance and self-determination at the time.

Ideal for readers interested in early 20th‑century Irish history, U.S.–Ireland relations, and wartime politics.
