商品簡介
This book examines strategic and diplomatic issues concerning Ireland at the beginning of the twentieth century, together with espionage, sabotage and propaganda operations of foreign powers trying to manipulate Ireland. Focussing on continental European powers such as Austria-Hungary, France, Germany and to a lesser extent Russia, the book is based on research in diplomatic and military archives notably in Berlin, Brussels, Paris and Vienna. The research unearthed many unknown documents, which in turn produced some unexpected revelations.
