In his exploration of the use of intelligence in Ireland by the British government from the onset of the Ulster Crisis in 1912 to the end of the Irish War of Independence in 1921, Grob-Fitzgibbon analyzes the role that intelligence played during those critical nine years. He argues that within that period, the British government lost power in Irelandbecause it failed to utilize the intelligence it received. Through itsindifference, the British government contributed to the turning pointsof the Irish Revolution, and allowed a bloody guerrilla war to developthat was far from inevitable.
