What was the full impact of the Second World War on Northern Ireland and how important was its role in the allied cause? This book assesses Northern Ireland's contribution to the war effort—its industrial production, its use as a base and training center for British and American troops, its strategic importance in the Battle of the Atlantic and the contribution of its volunteers to the allied campaigns. Using recently released papers in Dublin, it looks anew at the Blitz, particularly on whether the lights in neutral Eire helped the German bombers in their devasting raids. It recreates much of the atmosphere of what it was like to live for over 5 years under the combined attentions of German bombers, shortages, bureancracy and American soldiers. It examines the sensitive issues of why there was no conscription, the initially lacklustre performance of the Unionist government, de Valera's persistence with neutrality, and the extent of the tensions between locals and GIs stationed here. The long-term significance of the War—on inter-community relations, on governmental relations north and south, and between Stormont and Westminster - is assessed. It contends that in many of these areas, and in the establishment of the post-war welfare state, the Second World War was a major turning point in the history of Northern Ireland.

For Britain the Second World War exists in popularmemory as a time of heroic sacrifice, survival and ultimate victory overFascism. In the Irish state the years 1939-1945 are still remembered simplyas 'the Emergency'. Eire was one of many small states which in 1939 chosenot to stay out of the war but one of the few able to maintain itsnon-belligerency as a policy.How much this owed to Britain's militaryresolve or to the political skills of amon de Valera is a key questionwhich this new book will explore. It will also examine the tensions Eire'spolicy created in its relations with Winston Churchill and with the UnitedStates. The author also explores propaganda, censorship and Irish statesecurity and the degree to which it involves secret co-operation withBritain. Disturbing issues are also raised like the IRA's relationship toNazi Germany and ambivalent Irish attitudes to the Holocaust.Drawing uponboth published and unpublished sources, this book illustrates the war'simpact on people on both sides of the border and shows how it failed toresolve sectarian problems on Northern Ireland while raising higher thebarriers of misunderstanding between it and the Irish state across itsborder.

"Northern Ireland, America and the Second World War analyses the various responses to the American military presence in Northern Ireland during the Second World War, and its legacy in the years immediately thereafter. Simon Topping examines the political attitude of the Northern Irish government, as well as that of Irish Nationalists and the Americans themselves. He considers the internal political impact of America forces, hospitality provision for American troops, and the memorialization of the occupation in the war's aftermath, among other topics. This study draws attention to influential and understudied individuals such as David Gray, the American minister for Dublin who was recruited to the Unionist cause, and the Northern Irish Prime Minister Basil Brooke, who visited the USA in 1950. In doing so, it provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of this largely overlooked aspect of the war, and the history of Northern Ireland more generally. This book is the first monograph-length political history of United States involvement in Northern Ireland, and is essential for students and scholars of Irish and American history, the Second World War, and political and diplomatic history."--

From the formation of early militias, yeomanry and volunteers the concept of civilians taking arms and organising to defend their homes against insurrection, rebellion or foreign invasion particularly in Ireland's most northerly counties is not new. However it would be the threat faced by the British Isles in 1940 which would see the largest mobilisation of civilian volunteers throughout the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The book is illustrated with a combination of private photographs published for the first time and newspaper images amongst others. Also included is a chapter which examines various German invasion and espionage plans for the island of Ireland and an order of battle for the Ulster Home Guard in 1942, down to Company level. With no previous book exploring the Home Guard in Northern Ireland in this manner Duty without Glory fills a void in Northern Ireland military, local and constabulary history.

First published in 1919 to accompany the peace celebrations in Belfast that year "The Great War 1914-1918" provides not only a record of the actions of Ulster regiments that served on the front line during the First World War but also gives brief accounts of other services in which Ulster men and women played their part. FROM THE PREFACE This booklet does not profess to be in any sense an account of the manifold activities of the North of Ireland during the Great War. It is merely a few facts put together in souvenir form, which may be of interest to those who had the honour of participating in the historic events which are alluded to within these pages. If undue prominence appears to be given to the 36th Ulster Division, it must be remembered that alone of the divisions of the army it was composed of battalions of Ulster regiments from the beginning of the campaign until the end, and that a large percentage of the men who joined the army from the North of Ireland, especially from Belfast and district, served in the ranks of the Division. Equally gallant were the battalions of the Ulster regiments in the 10th and 16th Divisions and in the regular army. No distinction is made in the measure of praise that is due to Ulstermen of all creeds and classes who joined His Majesty's Forces in a period of great national emergency.
