Northern Ireland at the Crossroads

"Northern Ireland at the Crossroads" is a scholarly book that focuses on the significant tenure of Terence O'Neill, regarded as the most hopeful decade for Ulster Unionism in this century. The book highlights O'Neill's ambitious attempt to bridge the gap with Catholics, which resulted in both optimism and massive political instability. In addition to analyzing the dramatic political events and personalities, the work also provides deeper insights into public attitudes within one of the most politically polarized societies in the world. It sheds new light on topics such as Paisleyism, discrimination, and the civil rights movement, making the book relevant for both professionals and those interested in Northern Irish history.
