Summary:
In this book Alan Ward uses the pivotal event in twentieth-century
Irish history as a prism through which to survey Irish history from
the twelfth century to the present. By asking why the Easter Rising
occurred, Ward is able to review the history of Anglo Irish
relations, from the time of Norman settlement to World War I, as well
as the development of several kinds of Irish nationalism in the
nineteenth century. Then, by asking what the effects of the Rising
have been, Ward discusses the Irish war of independence, the creation
of the Irish Free State, and the Irish civil war, pondering the
influence of the various strands of Irish nationalism on the modern
state. The book then reviews the conflict in Northern Ireland from
the 1960s all the way to the fall of 2002
