Nationalism in Ireland

'It will satisfy the student and stimulate the general reader seeking a full understanding of the national struggle in one of the first countries to throw off Britain's imperial rule.' – David Harkness, Professor of Irish History, Queen's University, Belfast'The idea, fashionable for a generation after 1945, that the era of nationalism is over has suddenly begun to appear quaint. This makes a second edition of Boyce's book particularly appropriate.' – Tom Garvin, Professor of Politics, University College, Dublin in Irish Historical Studies, 1994'... his careful, well-written and structured analysis and synthesis of most of the best in a rapidly expanding Irish historiography qualifies his book as the best on the subject.' – Lawrence J. McCaffrey'The book will be an essential addition to any student's work on Ireland, analysis of the ingredients which form nationalism.' – Scottish Association of Teachers of History Resources Review'Boyce's Nationalism in Ireland is in every sense an original and scholarly contribution to a long discussed and controversial subject. There is no study quite like it.' - CHOICE
