From the turbulent aftermath of the Easter Rising to the complexities of the Troubles and beyond, Modern Ireland presents a compelling and authoritative chronicle of one of Europe's most politically charged nations. Alan Dures charts the dramatic transformation of Ireland through the twentieth century, tracing the arc from the struggle for independence and the painful partition of the island to the social, cultural, and economic forces that shaped both the Republic and Northern Ireland into the modern era. Dures writes with clarity and precision, grounding sweeping historical forces in the human realities of ordinary Irish lives, making the political personal and the historical immediate. The work sits firmly in the tradition of accessible yet scholarly British historical writing, offering a balanced perspective on the deeply contested narratives that define Irish identity. Published by Wayland, a press renowned for its informative historical volumes, this is an indispensable primer for anyone seeking to understand the roots of the Irish question — and why its answers continue to resonate today.
