Moments later, he shook hands with the British Prime Minister. So began the first day of the most important political negotiations in modern Anglo-Irish history. Nearly two months later, in the early hours of 6 December 1921, the talks culminated in the signing of what in Ireland is known simply as 'the Treaty' - a document that had been designed to end one violent conflict, but which soon gave rise to another. A century on from its signing, award-winning journalist Gretchen Friemann has produced a gripping account of the tense and protracted negotiations between the Irish and British delegations, shining a fresh light on the complex politics and high-stakes bargaining that produced the agreement. A stunningly vivid piece of narrative history that resonates across the intervening century to the age of Brexit, The Treaty is a must-read for anyone who wishes to understand modern Ireland and the enduring complexities of British-Irish relations. -- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Ireland $x History $y 1910-1921. 651 0 $a Ireland $x History $y Civil War, 1922-1923. 651 0 $a Ireland $x Politics and government $y 1910-1921. 651 0 $a Ireland $x Politics and government $y 1922- 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Relations $z Ireland. 651 0 $a Ireland $x Relations $z Great Britain. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781785374210 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=435547E0D37711ED83DD52344BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
