Samenvatting
‘…takes a novel approach, applying a gender analysis to a well-worn subject.’ Mervyn O'Driscoll, University College Cork
'A good history of World War II from three perspectives: the Irish, British, and American. Garner shows not only how Ireland fit into Big power relations, but how the small country proved to have a seminal role in many issues in the world war.' Thomas W Zeiler, University of Colorado, Boulder
Friends and enemies examines the personal friendships and embittered conflicts among British, American and Irish national leaders and their Dublin-based foreign policy advisers over the course of the Second World War, as those relationships warmed and cooled in response to their nations’ fortunes.
The dominant personalities of Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Eamon de Valera were marked by their distinctive prejudices and predilections. These, in combination with the culturally and historically specific British, American and Irish masculine ideologies that prescribed their privileged and powerful roles, determined the ways that they each constructed politically useful national identities and war stories. Through their public addresses and in their private correspondence and recollections, they associated specific character traits, behaviors, allegiances and affinities with themselves, their nations’ male citizens, and with their personal 'friends' and national allies, as they distinguished themselves from their 'enemies' in order to rally their compatriots to either support or reject the most consequential of all political projects: to go to war. Their constructions of those identities and narratives helped to shape the emotional, patriotic and gendered experiences of the Second World War among their nations’ people, as well as their nations’ wartime policies.
Succeeding generations of national leaders have drawn upon the stories and gendered national identities that these wartime leaders defined and symbolised as they reconfigured and reaffirmed state-to-state 'special relationships' long into the postwar era.
This history of Anglo-American efforts to overturn Ireland’s neutrality policy during the Second World War adds complexity to the grand narrative of the Western Alliance against the Axis Powers, exploring relatively unexamined emotional, personalised, and gendered politics that underlay policymaking and alliance relations. Friends and enemies combines the methodologies of diplomatic history through its close reliance on archival documentation with attention to new theoretical understandings regarding the roles played by personal friendships and enmities and competing masculine ideologies among national leaders. Including, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Eamon de Valera, and their close foreign policy advisers in London, Washington DC and Dublin, as they constructed national identities and defined their nations’ special relationships in time of war.
