Documents on Irish Foreign Policy: Volume VII, 1941-1945

This volume contains 625 original documents, many never seen before, from the archives of the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, covering the key concerns of Second World War Irish foreign policy.

The book includes previously unpublished confidential telegrams and reports from Irish diplomats in wartime Berlin, Vichy, Rome, Ottawa, London, and Washington. It provides an original documentary account of Irish attempts to save Jews from Nazi concentration ca
