'An intrinsically valuable work - intellectually serious, well-researched and original.' Tim Wilson 'Gerard Noonan's book is an outstanding, definitive analysis of an under-researched topic - the role of the IRA in Britain during the crucial periods of the partition of Ireland, War of Independence and republican split. Drawing upon exhaustive, highly original research, Noonan charts a very wide range ... Read moreof IRA activity in England, Scotland and Wales in support of the battles 'across the water'. The book is essential reading for any scholar of the period.' Jon Tonge, University of Liverpool 'Gerard Noonan’s new book is a welcome addition to the growing historiography of modern Ireland, which places the Irish diaspora at the centre of analysis….This book deserves commendation for its depth of research and for its novel approach to integrating Irish and British history in a critical period.' Twentieth Century British History, Vol 26 'The IRA in Britain is detailed, comprehensive and well structured. Noonan has drawn effectively on recently available digital archives, which permit the marshalling of 'new' or at least hitherto inaccessible information.' Ruan O'Donnell, History Ireland 'This is an important contribution to the historiography of the War of Independence and the Civil War. The author identified the gap in that historiography and has filled it with an original, meticulously researched and well-presented volume... it is essential reading.' Patrick McCarthy, The Irish Sword '(The IRA in Britain) makes important contributions to political and social history... it brings to light hitherto neglected perspectives on the ordinary activists, paramilitaries and prisoners – and their families and communities – who experienced and contributed to a decade of monumental change.' Gemma Clark, Social History 'Noonan has written a significant contribution to the history of the early Irish Republic. I would recommend this work particularly to historians and political scientists engaged in Modern Irish History and to students of revolutionary praxis and asymmetrical warfare.'
