Her previous books include a study of Paul Muldoon. She is an editor of The Field Day Anthology of Irish Literature.\n\nProduct Description\n\nOf the countries that remained neutral during the Second World War, none was more controversial than Ireland, with accusations of betrayal and hypocrisy poisoning the media. Whereas previous histories of Ireland in the war years have focused on high politics, That Neutral Island brings to life the atmosphere of a country forced to live under rationing, heavy censorship and the threat of invasion. It unearths the motivations of those thousands who left Ireland to fight in the British forces and shows how ordinary people tried to make sense of the Nazi threat through the lens of antagonism towards Britain.\n\nReview\n\n\"'Revelatory.' Irish Times\"\n\nBook Description\n\nThat Neutral Island by Clair Wills is a groundbreaking study of neutrality and how it fundamentally shaped Ireland's modern identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571221066\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45448823472359,"sku":"24-CPSI-9YLY","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/products\/51ohdMzmLfL.jpg?v=1669207709","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/that-neutral-island","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
