More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is the first comprehensive history of Northern Ireland for over 15 years. Founded upon the partition of Ireland in 1920, Northern Ireland experienced 50 years of nervous peace under the rule of a devolved government in Belfast. This government was representative only of the Protestant unionist community and discriminated freely against the minority nationalists. The Protestant fortress held firm until the emergence of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights movement in the late 1960s, following which the province subsided into the civil unrest widely known as 'The Troubles'. For nearly 30 years, Northern Ireland has been a headline item in the world's newspapers and on its television screens.

Format:Paperback
This book is a marvellous addition to your collection, if you are interested in Northern Ireland. It deliberately avoids taking sides, and presents both sides of the argument, considering the subject this is no mean achievement. It also avoids the hyperbole usually associated with Ulster politics. It is an excellent resource for those studying politics or history, or for those who wish to read a balanced view of the events of the last 75+ years.
