Ireland Divided : The Roots of the Modern Irish Problem, Paperback / softback Book

Ireland Divided : The Roots of the Modern Irish Problem Paperback / softback

Part of the The Past in Perspective series

Paperback / softback

Description

Part of the "Past in Perspective" series, this text provides a concise introduction to the events which led to the partition of Ireland, with a discussion of the subsequent development of the two Irish states which emerged from the events of 1920-1922.

The author is even-handed in his treatment of the two Irish states and their politics, and deals sensitively with a very complex affair, especially when he deals with post-1968 developments.

In addition to a core of chapters which explore a major theme in depth and from a number of angles, this book begins with a survey of the ways in which its theme has been treated in the past by historians and other writers; it includes a section of contemporary documents substantial enough to give an accurate flavour of the relevant theme, and it ends with a bibliography to give the guidance to further study.

By these means, as well as the inexpensive format, the series aims to convey the facination of Irish history to a wider public.
