The Two Irelands: 1912-1939

David Fitzpatrick

The partition of Ireland created two states embodying rival ideologies and representing two hostile peoples. David Fitzpatrick's narrative begins with the Government of Ireland Bill of 1912 and closes with the imposition of the Emergency Powers Act in 1939. This is the first sustained integration of the political history of the two Irelands in the era of revolution and partition.
