The Dynamics of War and Revolution: Cork City, 1916 - 1918 - John Borgonovo

The city of Cork experienced a political odyssey between Easter 1916 and the end of 1918.

At the beginning of the First World War, Irish separatists in the city of Cork were marginalised and without political power. By the war's end, they had supplanted the local elite and launched a bloody war for independence. Using Cork as a case study, this book considers how the First World War brought about political revolution in Ireland.
