Bombs
Over Dublin In the
early morning of Saturday May 31, 1941 German planes dropped bombs on
central Dublin. Nearly all the victims were among the poorest of Dublin’s
citizens. In Bombs over Dublin, the first book on the subject, Sean McMahon
looks at the background to the bombings: Ireland’s neutrality in
what the country called the ‘Emergency’; the Belfast Blitz
of April and early May 1941 that was a forerunner of the Dublin bombing;
why the bombing of neutral Éire happened; and the repercussions
for de Valera’s wartime administration and for relations between
Ireland and the Allied and Axis powers. February 2010, 5 x 8, 128 pages (Currach) |
