After two decades of relative peace following the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, the Brexit referendum in 2016 reopened the Northern Ireland question. In this thoughtful and engaging book, Feargal Cochrane considers the region's troubled history, from the struggle for Irish independence in the 19th century to the present.

New chapters explain the reasons for the suspension of devolved government at Stormont in 2017 and its restoration in 2020, as well as the consequences for Northern Ireland of Britain's decision to leave the European Union. Providing a complete account of the province's hundred-year history, this book is a must-listen to understand the present dimensions of the Northern Irish conflict.

Began listening to this audiobook on my flight back from a visit to Northern Ireland. After listening to this book, I have a much deeper understanding as to the origins of Northern Ireland and all of the unfortunate events and poor decisions that culminated in the Troubles. The writing is engaging and the narration is excellent. Would highly recommend.

knowing nothing of Northern Irelands troubles, their causes and the resulting peace, I found this history an engaging and evenhanded tour through this divided and divisive region.

Simply put…the author clearly knows what he is talking about and is fair in his presentation of the facts…in a context where that is oft times difficult.

Excellent. Provides great clarity to those familiar and unfamiliar with the topic.
