Description:
Building peace in Northern Ireland today, which involves Ireland as a whole, requires confronting the violence and intolerance of Ireland's 1912-1923 decade.
Review Quotes:
'Written in an unfussy and accessible style, Confronting the Irish Past is intellectually serious and conceptually ambitious. The author's erudite reflections on the uses (and abuses) of the past and on the ethics of commemoration will interest, provoke, and challenge readers in equal measure.' -- Dr Brian Hughes, University of Limerick, Ireland
