Propaganda and Nation Building

This book examines the origins of the Irish state in its first independent incarnation, the Irish Free State (1922-1937), exploring how contemporary public relations and propaganda techniques were used to construct an identity for a new state, which after enduring seven years of insurrection and civil war, became one of the most stable democracies in Europe. This will be of interest to researchers and advanced students with an interest in public relations, propaganda studies, nation building and Irish studies.
