Description

The Partition of Ireland in 1921 remains one of the most contentious issues in Irish politics. Yet, its origins - how and why the British divided the island - have long been obscured by decades of struggle. Ivan Gibbons uncovers the story behind this pivotal event, tracing back to the early twentieth century when concerns about the future of Ireland began to surface. Drawing on extensive primary research, Gibbons reveals the complex factors that led to the idea of dividing the island and how its implementation proved so contentious. The result is a nuanced exploration of one of the most significant events in Irish history, shedding light on the underlying causes of a century-long conflict that continues to shape Irish politics today.
