Ireland, 19121985 by Joseph J Lee
Ireland, 19121985 is the first study on this scale of Irish performance, North and South, in the twentieth century. Although stressing the primacy of politics in Irish public affairs, it argues that Irish politics must be understood in the broad context of economic, social, administrative, cultural and intellectual history.
' … one of the great books of our time … proves once again that Ireland is a fascinating country since it has given birth to such a fascinating book' Owen Dudley Edwards, New Statesman and Society
' … a quite remarkable achievement … Some prospective readers may shrink from so big a book. They should not do so, for its pace is even more impressive than its size. (Lee) is concerned not merely with describing the Irish past but, much more, with prescribing for the Irish present and for the Irish future.' Ronan Fanning, Sunday Independent
'While its a massive analytical study, Lee has also written with wit, and it is a must for anyone wanting to expand their knowledge of modern Irish history. Lee's sceptical eye is matched with great verve and insight. ' Irish Examiner
