  • Defending Ireland from the Irish: the Irish Executive’S Reaction to Transatlantic Fenianism 1864-68
    Defending Ireland from the Irish: The Irish Executive’s reaction to Transatlantic Fenianism 1864-68 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2017 Jerome Devitt Trinity College Dublin Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. Signed: ________________________________________ Jerome Devitt July 2018 ii Summary This thesis examines the Irish Executive’s reaction to the threat posed by transatlantic Fenianism from the closing phase of the US Civil War to the end of Fenian activity in the year following the Fenian Rising of February and March 1867. It argues that the Fenian conspiracy was the catalyst for a substantial development in the Executive’s ability to assert its control throughout the country in the name of maintaining state security. Its central argument is that the government’s adoption of a policy of deterrence, combined with the systematic reform of the composition and distribution of military and constabulary forces on the island, at first delayed and later helped to suppress the abortive rising that eventually emerged. Although the periodization is narrow, the four years in question set in motion a security policy that would influence the governance of Ireland throughout the remainder of the century. The Executive’s response, however, was influenced not only by the suppression of the Young Ireland rising in 1848, but was also guided by a wide range of transnational influences.

  • The Foundations of British Maritime Ascendancy
    The Foundations of British Maritime Ascendancy British power and global expansion between 1755 and 1815 have mainly been attributed to the fiscal-military state and the achievements of the Royal navy at sea. Roger Morriss here sheds new light on the broader range of developments in the infrastructure of the state needed to extend British power at sea and overseas. He demonstrates how developments in culture, experience and control in central government affected the supply of ships, manpower, food, transport and ordnance as well as the support of the army, permitting the maintenance of armed forces of unprecedented size and their projection to distant stations. He reveals how the British state, although dependent on the private sector, built a partnership with it based on trust, ethics and the law. This book argues that Britain’s military bureaucracy, traditionally regarded as inferior to the fighting services, was in fact the keystone of the nation’s maritime ascendancy. roger morriss is Senior Lecturer in the Department of History, University of Exeter, and General Editor of the Navy Records Society. His previous publications include Naval Power and British Culture, 1760– 1850: Public Trust and Government Ideology (2004). Cambridge Military Histories Edited by HEW STRACHAN, Chichele Professor of the History of War, University of Oxford, and Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford GEOFFREY WAWRO, Major General Olinto Mark Barsanti Professor of Military History, and Director, Center for the Study of Military History, University of North Texas The aim of this new series is to publish outstanding works of research on warfare throughout the ages and throughout the world.
