Northern Ireland: The Fragile Peace

Providing a complete account of Northern Ireland's hundred-year history, this book is essential reading to understand the present dimensions of the region's conflict. Two decades of relative peace followed the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, but then the Brexit referendum in 2016 reopened questions of identity and allegiance. Feargal Cochrane explores a troubled past, from the struggle for Irish Independence in the nineteenth century to the recent restoration of government at Stormont.
