Partition by Ivan Gibbons

The passion and emotion felt about the partition of Ireland has not dissipated in the 100 years since and, as the disorders occurred in Northern Ireland in the Spring 2021 show, it is as controversial now as it was then. To mark the centenary of partition, this much-acclaimed concise introductory history explains clearly and objectively why and how two states were created on the island.
‘An excellent exposition of how the border came into existence… a short, very readable and clear overview’—Times Literary Supplement; ‘…notable for [its] attention to detail.’ —Financial Times; ‘an accessible, well-written concise history of partition’ –History Ireland.
