Produktbeschreibung

The Anglo-Irish relationship has historically been a fraught one. The modern Irish question is defined by many as a case of a great and supposedly liberal nation supposedly mistreating a smaller one. The Politics of Enmity embodies a new approach to this issue, analysing key issues from religious discrimination, and famine, to the passions of both nationalism and unionism. Re-evaluating British political leadership and its approach towards Ireland, Paul Bew sheds new light on the changing ideological passions of the modern Irish question. Examining the influence and legacies of many key figures, from Tone to Parnell to Haughey and from Peel to Churchill to Blair, he takes the reader all the way from the society of the United Irishman to the crisis of the Good Friday Agreement.
