Dividing Ireland: World War One and Partition
ISBN: 9780415174206 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text provides an assessment of the First World War in Ireland and its consequences - a way to understanding the complexities of the Irish nation at the end of the 20th-century. Thomas Hennessey explores how the War transformed the nature of the Irish and Ulster questions from devolved self-government within the UK to a free Irish republic outside the British Empire, considering such influential figures as de Valera and Michael Collins, and issues such as conscription. He examines both this process of re-evaluation, and the question of the consequences for Northern Ireland today.
