Good source of information on nationalism and unionism.
This is a standard textbook covering about 120 years of modern Irish history, from 1850 to the 1970s. The book covers social and economic factors as well as political events. Of particular interest is the examination the growth of nationalism and unionism during the second half of the nineteenth century, with descriptions of the backgrounds and motivation of figures like Gladstone, Isaac Butt, Parnell, Carson and Craig. First published in 1963, it remains one of the great works on Irish history.
