Notes IndexReviews'An important contribution to a debate that has been reignited. It is an excellent tool for activists who are navigating the arguments in favour of ending partition' -- Gerry Carroll, MLA Stormont Assembly for West Belfast 'Showing how partition was not to separate two hostile cultures but a strategy to defend the British empire, it traces the grisly story through to the return of the national question today when Irish unity can be posed again on a new socialist basis. Essential reading for anyone who wants to change Irish society' -- Brid Smith, People Before Profit TD The phrase 'If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it', seems more apt about Ireland than anywhere else. To look at Ireland through the prism of class is to see not what might have been but what brightness the future might bring. Kieran Allen's new book is Irish history seen anew, from below, bristling with practical lessons for working-class struggle today' -- Eamonn McCann, politician, journalist and political activist The phrase 'If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it', seems more apt about Ireland than anywhere else.
