Ireland since 1939 : The Persistence of Conflict

by Henry Patterson

This history of Ireland traces the developments from World War II to the Belfast Agreement and the creation of a new government in Northern Ireland. It aims to avoid a partitional approach, which treats the North and South in isolation from each other.

Reviews

[Brendan McKee]

It is surprisingly hard to find a book that covers the history of both the North and South, and nearly impossible to find a book that does it as well as this one

[Iain Hamill]

Reasonably dense academically inclined book but well done. Time for a sequel I suppose!
