When the possibility of Ireland building submarines for defence was discussed by Michael Collins and the British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George during the negotiation of the Anglo-Irish Treaty (the 1921 treaty that laid the foundations for Ireland's independence). A thread . . . .1/
The full cover, back and front, of my novel, Steel-Plate Subversive. Overall, it’s a deep blue and sea green, the colour of sea at night. On the front, the view is from above, looking down at the deck of a small, steel-grey submarine at night. The hatch in the low-profile turret is open. A bearded white man in a green woollen jumper and brown flat cap is in the open hatch, holding a Thompson submachine gun. He’s lit from below by the red light inside the submarine. The title is vertical, in orange, down the left side, and the tagline is in white, much smaller to the right: ‘Irish revolutionaries, British spies, German mercenaries, and a submarine that shouldn't exist.’ My name is in white at the bottom. The back cover shows the same submarine in the harbour of a small town at night, racing away at speed. The blurb reads: There's something out there in the water. A shaky truce has been established in Ireland's War of Independence. In 1921, as negotiations begin in London to finally free the Irish from British control, a young intelligence agent named Esther Sinclair discovers that a nightmarish weapon has gone missing in France. Akiko Regan and her cousin Liam O'Leary have made their own discovery: Akiko's father, Michael, is the leader of the mysterious rebel group known as the Selkies. Michael is an engineer who trained under the famous John Philip Holland in New Jersey. At the start of the century, Holland's designs had established the submarine fleets of five nations. But the Irishman's very first submarines were built for the Irish republican movement. The Royal Navy have no idea that a Holland vessel has heen operating in the Irish Sea. Michael had hoped to shield Akiko and Liam from the ongoing violence. Now, however, the family find themselves drawn into a crisis that threatens not just their lives but the future of their country. There’s an Arts Council of Ireland logo across from the barcode, to acknowledge funding for the writing of the book.

#ThisDayInHistory holds two related anniversaries. In 1921, the #AngloIrishTreaty was signed, ending the #IrishWarOfIndependence. And in 1922, #IrishFreeState and #NorthernIreland came into existence. #Ireland later rejected Commonwealth & became a republic; NI is still occupied.

~1500 were killed in the #IrishCivilWar that followed the #AngloIrishTreaty of 1922. Anti-treaty forces would not accept partition or Commonwealth membership. Pro-treaty forces benefited from British arms transfers. The fight began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1922 at the #FourCourts.

A deep division in Irish society opened up on #ThisDayInHistory in 1922, when the #DáilÉireann ratified the #AngloIrishTreaty by 64–57. The #IrishCivilWar that began in June was launched by the opposing faction. Ireland's three main political parties descend from these factions.
