Fatal path : British government and Irish Revolution, 1910-1922
Fanning, Ronan, 1941-2014
Books
Providing a comprehensive narrative of the most turbulent decade in Anglo-Irish history, 'Fatal Path' reexamines a decade of unleashed passions that came close to destroying the parliamentary system and to causing civil war in the United Kingdom. It was also the decade of the cataclysmic Great War, of an officers' mutiny in an elite cavalry regiment of the British Army and of Irish armed rebellion. It was a time, argues Ronan Fanning, when violence and the threat of violence trumped democratic politics - this is history as it was, not as we would wish it to be.
