Home Rule from a Transnational Perspective

The book delves into the complex relationship between the Irish Parliamentary Party and the United Irish League of America from 1901 to 1918. It examines John Redmond's dismissal of the American diaspora's influence on Irish politics, highlighting the consequences of this decision during the home rule crisis of 1914. By analyzing the subordination of the League, the author argues that Redmond's naivety contributed to the decline of constitutional nationalism in Ireland, offering a transnational perspective on this pivotal period in Irish history.
