The damnable question: A history of Anglo-Irish relations (1976)

1472 The Damnable Question: A Study in Anglo-Irish Relations, by George Dangerfield (read 25 Dec 1977)This book, in the inimitable Dangerfield style, covers the period of Irish history from 1800 to 1906 sketchily and the period from 1906 to December 1921 carefully. Dec 6, 1921, is the date the Irish delegates signed the Treaty--the Irish Civil War came in July 1922 and is beyond the scope of this book. This is a fair treatment of the period and all in all is an excellent treatment: the best I have read. Dangerfield is a great history popularizer, and no book of his I have ever read has failed to gain my approval. Here are the books by him I've read:
