The propaganda war in the revolutionary decade

*The propaganda war in the revolutionary decade*

According to British Prime Minister David Lloyd George Irish nationalists were ‘natural
propagandists’.

How accurate was this description?

How did they breach what Arthur Griffith called
the ‘paper wall’ of British news coverage?

How important was the new medium of film?

And what was the role of women as both the disseminators and objects of propaganda?

To address these and other questions join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, in discussion with Ciara Chambers,
Darragh Gannon, Maurice Walsh and Margaret Ward.
