The 3 volumes in this set, originally published between 1934 and 1975 are written by one of Ireland’s most respected historians. In the light of problems in recent years with the devolved power-sharing Agreement in Northern Ireland and the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly, these volumes have an enduring relevance and shed important historical perspective on contemporary political issues in both Northern Ireland and Ireland. They discuss: The implications of Anglo-Irish relations in the wider context of nationalist-imperial conflicts The (historical) practical operation of devolution in Northern Ireland And provide Critical analysis of government in the Irish Free State.
