Abstract "This groundbreaking study reveals the fascinating international dimension of the Irish Revolution, exploring how a small nation's fight for independence reverberated across the globe. The Irish republican counter state strategy required seeking diplomatic recognition abroad. In addition to a foreign affairs department, a publicity ministry was created to maximise the cultural impact of the Irish struggle within a growing international discourse on small, emerging states and the rise of anti imperialist sentiments. Through meticulous research and a compelling narrative, the book reveals how Irish revolutionaries were compelled by circumstances to devise an unconventional diplomatic strategy: unable to persuade governments to support the Irish revolution directly, they endeavoured to influence foreign public opinion and indirectly pressure governments to support Irish independence"-- Provided by publisher.
