description: Ireland in the twentieth century has had a very different history from that of most other western European countries. The two most profound shocks of the century―the world wars― met Ireland obliquely rather than head-on. Partition and civil war, on the other hand, were embittering experiences felt first hand, the legacies of which snake their course through its subsequent history. This is the first book to cover the whole history of Ireland, north and south, from the origins of Sinn Fein at the beginning of the century to the Stormont agreement at the end.
