Sloan, G. (2025) Seeking success & confronting failure: the British Army's campaigns in Ireland and Northern Ireland 1919-2007. Reimagining Ireland. Peter Lang, Berlin and Geneva. (In Press)

Abstract/Summary

During the twentieth century and the early years of the twentieth century the British Army,uniquely among European armies fought two domestic counterinsurgency campaigns. This monograph will challenge the judgements concerning these campaigns in Ireland and Northern Ireland; the verdict on the first is one of sub-optimal military effectiveness which produced a clear defeat and the second one was an 'honourable draw'.In both cases the British state was obliged to defend the political integrity of its sovereign territory.
