Guardian Bookshop Notes:

When the world descended into war in 1939, a few European countries remained neutral. This is the story of controversial Ireland.

Publisher's description:

Despite Winston Churchill's best efforts to the contrary, the Irish premier Eamon de Valera stuck rigidly to Ireland's right to remain outside a conflict in which it had no enemies. Accusations of betrayal and hypocrisy poisoned the airwaves and the printed media. This work talks about this.
