The book challenges the perception of early modern Ireland as merely a passive participant in British colonialism, presenting it instead as an active contributor to the first British Empire's establishment and expansion. McGrath emphasizes Ireland's significant involvement in finance and defense, highlighting how these areas were crucial to the empire-building process. Through this lens, the work reexamines Ireland's historical role and its enthusiastic engagement in the imperial project.
