Description
Book SynopsisThis book is offers a fresh perspective on the history of the end of Empire. Using the Irish and Indian independence movements as its focus, it details how each country's nationalist agitators engaged with each other and exchanged ideas. -- .
Trade Review'This highly original study shows not only the interchange of ideas and support between Irish and Indian separatists, and their shared ambitions and challenges in seeking emancipation from British rule, but the extent to which the imperial government also studied Irish and Indian nationalism in parallel. The book is consequently an important contribution to the intertwined histories of Ireland, India and the British empire.' Professor Eunan O'Halpin, Trinity College Dublin
