Ireland and the Marshall Plan

Ireland presented a special case for the US when it came to what was formally titled the European Recovery Programme to help rebuild the combatants of World War II in that it had remained neutral. Whelan (modern history, U. of Limerick) explores such questions as why it received aid, what form it came in, what did the country do with it, and what impact if any did it have. She also explains how the aid transformed Ireland's relation not only with the US but also with Britain and Europe. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
