I am joined by local historian, James Scannell, to help me delve into the legislative and social dimensions of the Emergency. I also draw upon the following scholarly resources: T. Ryle Dwyer, Eamon de Valera (Dublin, 1991). Brian Girvin, The Emergency: neutral Ireland, 1939-45 (London, 2006). Helen Litton, The World War II years: the Irish Emergency: an illustrated history (Dublin, 2001). Clair Wills, That neutral island: a cultural history of Ireland during the Second World War (London, 2007). Ian S. Wood, Ireland during the Second World War (London, 2002). &amp;nbsp; Talk About Ireland https://jpbruce.ie/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/13944812/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/69654302
