But the Irish revolutionaries did not win their struggle on the battlefield - their key victory was in mobilising public opinion in Britain and the rest of the world. Journalists and writers flocked to Ireland, where the increasingly brutal conflict was seen as the crucible for settling some of the key issues of the new world order emerging from the ruins of the First World War. On trial was the British Empire's claim to be the champion of civilisation as well as the principle of self-determination proclaimed by the American president Woodrow Wilson."The News from Ireland" vividly explores the work of British and American correspondents in Ireland as well as other foreign journalists and literary figures. It offers a penetrating and persuasive assessment of the Irish revolution's place in a key moment of world history as well as the role of the press and journalism in the conflict. This important book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Irish history and how our understanding of history generally is shaped by the media."--Bloomsbury publishing. 606 $aForeign correspondents$zIreland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWar correspondents$zIreland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aRevolutions, uprisings, rebellions$2BIC 607 $aIreland$xHistory$yWar of Independence, 1919-1921$xJournalists 607 $aIreland$xHistory$yWar of Independence, 1919-1921$xPress coverage 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aForeign correspondents$xHistory 615 0$aWar correspondents$xHistory 615 7$aRevolutions, uprisings, rebellions. 676 $a941.50821 700 $aWalsh$b Maurice$0439734 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463174403321 996 $aThe news from Ireland$92444353 997 $aUNINA
