Paperback. Condición: New. In the late 1980s, the 'army crisis' was dominating headlines in Ireland. Complaints of poor pay, low morale and unsatisfactory conditions for those serving in the Defence Forces were growing louder against the background of a government accused of being indifferent and an army hierarchy accused of being incapable. From amidst the turmoil, a group of women stepped up to pursue the rights of their men. Political crisis and a general election followed, but a commission established to examine the Defence Forces ignored the call for soldiers to acquire their own representative body. This book reveals for the first time, the deep-seated philosophies, tensions and reservations between Ireland's military and its government from the foundation of the State to the present day. It explores in detail the events that led to the successful pursuit of the democratic right of association for members of the armed forces in Ireland. It articulates the concept of the citizen in uniform and the special relationship between members of the armed forces and society. This is the story of the breaking of ranks.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. From the first General Secretary of the representative association of the armed forces, this is their unseen history The subject of this 'Breaking Ranks' is the birth of the representative body of the Irish Defence Force, PDFORRA, the circumstances which brought its creation to pass, and the influence this had on the fundamental reshaping of civil-military relations in Ireland. This book will provide new knowledge of how the State and the Armed Forces in Ireland interacted with each other and will do so in the context of events such as the 'mutinies' in the Curragh in 1914 and the formation of a new Irish state. With unprecedented access to secret files of the Department of Defence, it will provide an insight into the fundamental arguments made by either side in their pursuit of, and opposition to, representative associations in the army. Finally it will contribute to our knowledge of civil-military relations by highlighting and adding a new dimension to it for scholarly consideration and its application in other countries in this field of study.

He has lectured across Ireland and the US on the subject of naval history, and was the inaugural General Secretary of the statutory representative body for members of the Irish Armed Forces, PDFORRA.
