Synopsis
A.T.Q. Stewart is one of Ireland's foremost historians and the author of numerous books on Irish affairs. In 1969 he published The Ulster crisis: resistance to Home Rule, 1912-1914 to great critical acclaim, a book that has remained a definitive text on the period in question. Now retired from college life, this book seeks to honour his contribution to Irish and British historical studies for the last 45 years. Arthur Aughey (UU) A.T.Q.
