The Irish Convention: 1917-18

It was an attempt to solve the apparently intractable Irish Question. This book, originally published in 1970, describes the debates which took place.

The Fall of Parnell: 1890-91
When this book was originally published in 1960 no full-length study of the Parnell 'split' had been made, despite it being such a landmark in Irish history. This was the first modern work to provide a connected account of such neglected episodes as the 'Boulogne negotiations' and Parnell's final campaign in Ireland.
