In this new and vital work, Daniel Ayiotis skilfully explores how the Military Archives developed out of the vision of a handful of far-sighted military and civilians almost a century ago. That small group saw the critical need to preserve Ireland’s military records, and their efforts led to what was to become today’s outward-facing and internationally renowned Military Archives, the place of deposit for records relating to the Defence Forces and the Department of Defence. In exploring its history, the author has shown what President Michael D. Higgins described as ‘the fundamental importance of the Military Archives towards our understanding of the founding events of the state’ and, indeed, of the century that has followed.
