Britain and Ireland by Jeremy Smith (9780582301931)

Description - Britain and Ireland by Jeremy Smith

The relationship between Britain and Ireland is a story that still raises deep passions and has enormous relevance to the unfolding events in Northern Ireland today. This study attempts to chart a more dispassionate course between the various contending positions. It absorbs the large amount of research on Irish history during the last two decades making it available to a wider audience. Particular focus is given to the later, relatively obscure phase of Irish independence - between the Easter rising of 1916 and the intense negotiations surrounding the Treaty in the autumn of 1921.
