Synopsis
I tell you this early morning I signed my death warrant. - Michael Collins on the day that the Anglo-Irish Treaty was concluded, 6 December 1921
The Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 was narrowly accepted by the revolutionary Dáil Éireann in January 1922, splitting Sinn Féin irrevocably and leading to the Irish Civil War, a rupture that still defines the Irish political landscape almost one hundred years on.
Drawing together the work of a diverse range of scholars, who each re-examine this critical period in Irish political history from a variety of fascinating perspectives, The Treaty addresses the vexed question of the vote itself - how political factions were represented and how they fashioned their fervent rhetoric - and the enduring shockwaves it sent through Irish society.
