Sheila Lawlor

4.9/5 (19187 ratings)

Description:Britain and Ireland 1914-23 offers the most authoritative account to date of the formative years of modern Ireland, and the final years of the old United Kingdom. Based on previously unpublished material, it provides an interpretation of events significantly different from that generally accepted.This is a new analysis, based on many previously unused primary sources, of nine crucial years in the modern history of the two islands. It examines issues hitherto neglected by historians: the effects on Ireland of the collapse of the British Liberal Party; the consequences for Ireland of Lloyd George's ascendancy; the origins of the War of Independence and the Truce in the light of higher British politics; the nature of divided authority on the Irish side between the politicians and staff officers on the one hand and the local units of the IRA on the other; the extremely fluid nature of the Treaty negotiations; a controversial re-examination of de Valera's role in the period prior to the Civil War; and an analysis of how, after ratification of the Treaty, the 'republic' was merely part of a greater demand which units of the dissident IRA made for control of their own 'destiny' - jobs, future, positions.Sheila Lawlor's most significant contribution lies in explaining how specifically British developments affected the course of events. Hitherto, most accounts of the period have concentrated on the situation as it unfolded in Ireland whithout emphasising those cruical changes in post-war British political life which dictated the nature of the British response.Britain and Ireland 1914-23 is the first modern account to be concerned with the views and interventions of all those concerned at the highest levels, whether British or Irish, military of political. It places events, interventions and attitudes strictly in their historical context and radically reinterprets the ambitions, interests and influences of the important figures in the period.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
