The Two Irelands: 1912-1939 (OPUS)($53.00Value)

Description

The partition of Ireland created two states embodying rival ideologies and representing two hostile peoples. David Fitzpatrick's narrative begins with the Government of Ireland Bill of 1912 and closes with the imposition of the Emergency Powers Act in 1939. This is the first sustained integration of the political history of the two Irelands in the era of revolution and partition. "A very fine account and analysis of the partition issue in its historical context."--Joseph McLaughlin, Saint Michael's College David Fitzpatrick is Associate Professor of Modern History, and Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.
