| Summary/Abstract |
The idea that good intelligence is a necessary condition of successful counter-insurgency has recently enjoyed a resurgence. But as Benjamin Grob-Fitzgibbon shows, this is in fact nothing new. In part due to a remarkable continuity of personnel, the hard lessons learnt during the Irish War of Independence were eventually applied by the British in subsequent imperial emergencies - well before today's counter-insurgency campaigns.
