This is the story of the Black and Tans
and Auxiliaries, the most notorious police
forces in the history of the British Isles.
During the Irish War of Independence,
the British government recruited
thousands of ex-soldiers to serve as
constables in the Royal Irish Constabulary,
the Black and Tans, while also raising a
paramilitary raiding force of ex-officers:
the Auxiliary Division. From the summer
of
1920
to the summer of
1921,
these
forces became the focus of bitter
controversy. As the struggle for Irish
independence intensified, the police
responded to ambushes and
assassinati!
by the guerrillas with reprisals and
extrajudicial
killings. Prisoners and
suspects were abused and shot, the homes
and shops of their families and supporters
were burned, and the British government
was accused of imposing a reign of terror
on Ireland.
Based on extensive archival research, this
is the first serious study of these forces and
the part they played in the Irish War of
Independence.
Dr Leeson
examines the
organization and recruitment of the
British police, the social origins of police
recruits, and the conditions in which they
lived and worked, along with their
conduct and misconduct once they joined
the force, and their experiences and states
of mind. For the first time, he tells the
story of the Irish conflict from the police
perspective, while casting new light on the
British government s responsibility for
reprisals, the problems of using police to
combat insurgents, and the causes of
atrocities in revolutionary wars.
