When Ireland Nearly Went Fascist

Ireland leaned VERY closely into Fascism in the 1930s.
Eoin O'Duffy and Blueshirts had nearly 50,000 members, nearly launched a coup and fought in the Spanish Civil War.

Surprisingly, not many on YouTube have dived into this topic as a whole. So I presume this is the only proper biography on Eoin O'Duffy and the Blueshirts.
