Reviews
'A scholarly, detailed and historically-minded analysis of an enduringly central feature of Irish politics.' Richard English, Queen's University Belfast
'Robert Lynch has written an insightful and absorbing study of partition. Questions are raised about how we understand the nature of partition, its meaning in modern Irish history, and how it shaped and reshaped the identities of those living with its impact, both north and south. It is a history as relevant today as it was a hundred years ago.' Maria Luddy, University of Warwick
'The Partition of Ireland is now a critical must-read work on the Irish revolution and goes a long way toward its goal of restoring partition to the center of modern Irish history.' Jason Knirck, H-Albion
