[https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Philip-Stephens-These-Divided-Isles-9780571381487].. An insightful and timely book, by an award-winning Financial Times journalist, on the turbulent history of Anglo-Irish relations. **Introduced by award-winning journalist, Philip Stevens, of the Financial Times, provides a momentous history of the dramatic century that followed the Anglo-Irish Treaty and partition. Divided Islands tells the story from both sides of the Irish Sea, transcending layers of resentment and prejudice, to explore the intimacy and hostility forged by close family ties and conflicting national identities. It is a story written by prominent political leaders – David Lloyd George, Michael Collins, Winston Churchill, Eamonn de Valera – and the millions of Irish immigrants who crossed from Ireland to Britain to start a new life. Today, demographic change, Brexit and political logic have made Irish unity possible. Drawing on decades of personal contact and interviews with key decision-makers in Britain and Europe, Stevens maps this complex relationship, asking how Ireland can use its history to guide rather than constrain its future.
