New directions in Irish history

DA964

Having written his doctoral dissertation on the Catholic Church in Ireland during World War I, Weil (modern Irish history, U. of Reims, France, visiting U. College Cork) here examines how the country, roiling with revolt against her subject status, interacted with governments of continental Europe during The Great War, during the decade and a half preceding it, and during the peace conference. He uses many otherwise unknown documents from archives on the continent. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
