This work examines one of the most interesting periods in Irish diplomatic history, that of the inter-party government of 1948-1951 and discusses the later career of Sean MacBride, Minister of External Affairs during that government. The book encompasses larger themes of Anglo-Irish history, Irish-American history, the political and ideological role of Catholicism in the construction of a viable democratic state, and the pervasive influence of nationalism. It pulls together threads dangling from a wide variety of sources, some of which have never been previously consulted by historians of republican Ireland, ranging from Irish, British, Northern Irish, American, Canadian and OEEC official material to several relevant private papers, including the newly released papers of John Costello, newspapers, and memoirs as well as the significant secondary literature. Elizabeth Keane investigates MacBride, the political party he founded, his time in government, his fall from power and his impact on Irish foreign policy.
