Synthesizing a vast body of scholarly work, Henry Patterson offers
a compelling narrative of contemporary Ireland as a place poised
between the divisiveness of deep-seated conflict and the
modernizing - but perhaps no less divisive - pull of ever-greater
material prosperity. Although the two states of Ireland have
strikingly divergent histories, Patterson shows more clearly than
any previous historian how interdependent those histories - and the
mirroring ideologies that have fuelled them - have been. With its
fresh and unpredictable readings of key events and developments on
the island since the outbreak of the second world war, "Ireland
Since 1939" is an authoritative and gripping account from one of
the most distinguished Irish historians at work today.
