Abstract

The article focuses on the internal ideological conflict within the IRA during the 1930s and 1940s. Topics include the participation of Irish republicans in landmark anti-fascist events like the Battle of Cable Street and the Spanish Civil War, the rise of anti-Semitic and pro-Axis propaganda within certain nationalist circles, and the efforts of figures like Frank Ryan and Brendan Behan to align Irish republicanism with global anti-fascist movements.
