Ireland in Conflict, 1922-1998 sets out the main political, economic and social developments in Ireland, north and south of the border, since the 1922 treaty. It explains the conflicts in their context and examines the underlying tensions which led to prolonged violence after a period of relative civil peace and rising prosperity. T. G. Fraser provides a clear, concise and balanced discussion of topics such as the Civil War and its legacy, the role of the Catholic Church, and the Anglo-Irish agreement and ceasefire.
