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.
