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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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 mobilization 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 mobilization during the Conscription Crisis; and Sinn Fein's triumph in the 1918 General Election. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Borgonovo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909005827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909005822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cork University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.30d","brand":"John Borgonovo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48450044166399,"sku":"9781909005822","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce6bcc1c-1d70-4632-875e-060ed8df436e.jpg?v=1777265982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dynamics-of-war-and-john-borgonovo-9781909005822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
