Witnessing War, Making Peace:

Testimonies of Revolution and Restraint in Inter-War Ireland

Witnessing War, Making Peace is a project that considers why Ireland was so relatively restrained in its use of violence during and after its revolution.

This project will establish new paradigms for exploring the history of violence and pioneer the history of a much less considered phenomenon – restraint.
