This is a new updated edition of a classic book on Irish history. Conor Kostick examines the impact of popular militancy on the decisions of the British authorities, how it shaped leading nationalists, such as Michael Collins and its relationship with both Nationalism and Unionism. From the 1916 Easter Rising to the consolidation of the two separate states after the Irish Civil War of 1922-3, the campaign for Home Rule developed from parliamentary negotiation into military conflict and mass popular uprising. The results of these years remain to this day, primarily in the form of a partitioned country.
