"The city of Cork experienced a political odyssey between Easter 1916 and the end
of 1918. Irish Republicans evolved from a marginalized minority into Cork's unquestioned
political masters. The First World War created the context for this political transformation
in Ireland's third-largest city. Wartime policies conceived in London manifested themselves
unexpectedly in Cork: the Defence of the Realm Act was used to repress political speech;
deficit spending generated massive inflation; mandatory arbitration encouraged workers
to join trade unions; food rationing panicked a country scarred by the Potato Famine;
and military conscription generated virtual rebellion. As a result, the Cork public
increasingly turned against the war. The book examines the political situation in
Cork prior to the Easter Rising; local reactions to the rebellion; the rapid creation
of the Republican mass movement; the dramatic decline of the Irish Party; the explosion
of anti-authority street rioting; the mobilisation of women in the independence struggle;
disturbances against venereal disease treatments and visiting American sailors; the
emergence of radical trade unionism; agitation over the retention of local food supplies;
the nationalist mobilisation during the Conscription Crisis; and Sinn Féin's triumph
in the 1918 General Election. While previous scholarship has analysed these themes
in isolation, this study synthesises different strands into a single compelling narrative
that explains the war's destabilising effects on one Irish city during 1916-1918."--Publisher's
