Architects of the Resurrection: Ailtirí na hAiséirghe and the Fascist 'New Order' in Ireland Paperback - 2009 - 1st Edition
by R. M. Douglas
From the jacket flap
In 1942 Gearid Cuinneagin, a young pro-Axis activist, founded Ailtir na hAisirghe ("Architects of the Resurrection"), a fascist movement that aimed to destroy the infant Irish democracy and replace it with a one-party totalitarian state. But Ailtir na hAisirghe was no Nazi imitator. Rather, it aimed at something far more ambitious: the fusion of totalitarianism and Christianity that would make Ireland a "missionary-ideological state" wielding global influence in the postwar era. Supported by idealistic youths and mainstream politicians like Ernest Blythe, Oliver J. Flanagan and Dan Breen--and scrutinised anxiously by British and American intelligence--Aisirghe won several seats in the 1945 local government elections. Architects of the Resurrection casts an uncomfortable light on the popularity of anti-democratic, anti-Semitic and extremist ideas in wartime Ireland. Students of Irish history and of comparative fascism will find many new insights in this book.
