Terence O'Neill by Marc Mulholland

Terence O'Neill by Marc Mulholland

This text recounts the political life of Stormont's most controversial leader. Coming to power as Prime Minister of Northern Ireland in 1963 with a bold plan to 'literally transform the face of Ulster', Terence O'Neill propelled Northern Ireland into a new political era. This study examines O'Neill's tenure as Prime Minister against a backdrop of sectarian violence and civil unrest in Northern Ireland.

'Marc Mulholland of the St Catherine's College in Oxford, an established expert on both O'Neill and on the mysteries of the new Conservatism, provides a succinct account of the man and his trials which should be essential reading for anyone concerned to understand the nuances of Northern Ireland rather than the broad stroke treatments we are so often treated to' Irish Catholic, Feb 2014 'We are indebted to Marc Mulholland in this cogent and well-written reassessment for a glimpse of what "might have been"' Dublin Review of Books, 16 December 2013
