Abstract
Helen Paull Kirkpatrick, American political journalist and foreign correspondent for the Chicago Daily News in London and Paris during World War II, took on a personal and professional journalistic mission to report critically on southern Irish neutrality policy 1939–1942. Because of her energetic anti-fascist and pro-Allied reporting on diplomatic intrigues in neutral Ireland, U.S. Minister to Ireland David Gray befriended her and at times made her his co-conspirator, feeding her inside information about German spy activities and sensitive Anglo-Irish trade relations that she reported through articles in the Chicago Daily News and shared with British and American government officials and other London-based war correspondents. Her impassioned reporting on Irish affairs was intended to fuel both U.S. and Irish anti-fascist sentiments and to undercut the Irish government’s neutrality policy.
