This is a truly excellent book written by Mansergh, an authority in this subject area. We are privileged that this book was completed before the death of the author as it has the feeling of a life's work. The book is highly readable and the prose is of very high quality which makes it very free-flowing. This is arguably the most informed account of the political and historical events which unfolded from the formation of the Home Rule party, through the passage of the Treaty and partition, to the enactment of the Ireland Act of 1949. I would recommend this as one of four books to get a firm grounding on the subject area and different perspectives of same. The other three being, namely; Frank Pakenham's "Peace by Ordeal", Dorothy MacArdle's "The Irish Republic" and Michael Laffan's "The Resurrection of Ireland."… (meer)
