This is a truly excellent book written by Mansergh, an authority in this subject area. We are privileged that this book was completed before the death of the author as it has the feeling of a life's work. The book is highly readable and the prose is of very high quality which makes it very free-flowing. This is arguably the most informed account of the political and historical events which unfolded from the formation of the Home Rule party, through the passage of the Treaty and partition, to the enactment of the Ireland Act of 1949. I would recommend this as one of four books to get a firm grounding on the subject area and different perspectives of same. The other three being, namely; Frank Pakenham's "Peace by Ordeal", Dorothy MacArdle's "The Irish Republic" and Michael Laffan's "The Resurrection of Ireland."

By the outbreak of World War I, civil war in Ireland was an immediate danger, for the Protestants in Northern Ireland were afraid that Home Rule would place them under the dominion of the Catholic majority in the south. The Anglo-Irish settlement of 1920-25 partitioned Ireland into the Irish Free State (later called the Republic of Ireland) and Ulster, or Northern Ireland. However widespread violence on both sides of the border between those who favored the partition and those who opposed it led to the eventual dissolution of the settlement. This book is a history of Anglo-Irish relations from the time of the settlement until its demise in 1972. Nicholas Mansergh discusses the interplay of concepts, interests, and personalities that shaped the settlement, the purposes it was intended to serve, the measure of its success and failure, and the circumstances of its undoing—in particular the Irish Republic’s secession from the Commonwealth in 1949 and the British governments dismantling of the local parliamentary institutions in Northern Ireland in 1972. Mansergh’s account of the events of this tumultuous era is unparalleled. As an eminent historian of Ireland who was also an observer of the Irish Revolution and an acquaintance of many of the policy makers and political leaders from mid-century onward, he has been able to provide a major interpretation and synthesis of a period of great importance to Ireland and to Britain.
