The partition of Ireland created two states embodying rival ideologies and representing two hostile peoples. David Fitzpatrick's narrative begins with the Government of Ireland Bill of 1912 and closes with the imposition of the Emergency Powers Act in 1939. This is the first sustained integration of the political history of the two Irelands in the era of revolution and partition.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent lay out of the Irish conflict,
This review is from: The Two Irelands: 1912-1939 (O P U S) (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book very much. It was very clear and coherent. It explained the who, the why, and the how in such a way that one was able to follow all the shifts in terminology from the south to the north. It also clearly described the source and aftermath of the decisions made regarding Irish rights and privileges. I loved it. A definite must read for anyone who wants to get the facts straight.
