William A. Carson examines relations between Ulster and the Irish Republic in a short political work reflecting the arguments and tensions of its time. With an introduction by David Gray, United States Minister to Éire from 1940 to 1947, the book addresses partition, competing historical interpretations and the claims made about government in Northern Ireland. Chapters consider civil liberties, religious discrimination, flags, free speech and the international dimensions of Irish politics, including neutrality and NATO. Carson writes from a particular political position, making the volume a source for understanding contemporary debate rather than a neutral guide to present-day affairs. Its concentrated treatment offers readers interested in Irish history a record of how constitutional identity, allegiance and security were discussed during the period.
