内容説明

In 1921, Collins argued that the Anglo-Irish treaty offered nationalists the freedom to achieve freedom. In 1926, Kevin O'Higgins went to London with a proposal to have the British monarch crowned king of a reunited Ireland. In 1933, Eoin O'Duffy, leader of the Blueshirts, advocated a corporatist state on the Fascist Italian model, within a republican settlement. All three men had accepted the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921 John M. Regan explains how such contrasting political views were reconciled within an evolving treatyite position. To understand the development of the new state and the establishment of democracy, it must first be recognised that a dedicated counter-revolution underpinned the post-revolutionary settlement. The book offers a radical re-examination of the treaty negotiations. 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 ten years' research in archives in Ireland, Britain, France and the USA, this is a radical reappraisal of the Irish Free State.
