Description

"The Irish Counter-Revolution 1921-1936 offers a comprehensive re-evaluation of the treaty negotiations examining the strategies of Collins and de Valera. It argues that there existed elements of anti-democratic culture on both sides of the treaty divide, not least Collins himself. It emphasises the central role of Kevin O'Higgins in using the spoils system of the new state to undermine his opponents within the regime. Based on research in archives in Ireland, Britain, France, and the USA, this is a radical reappraisal of the Irish Free State."--Jacket.
