Reviews

'a work of consummate scholarship and masterly presentation' Bullan 'Its strengths lie in its solid scholasticism and its author'senviable and incisive grasp of rich primary sources' Fortnight Magazine

`Once more Professor Kerr marshals his formidable grasp of British and Irish archival material to write a detailed yet broad account of what was arguably the last attempt by a British government to make the Irish Union a reality ... his fine book on these momentous years in the history of the Union does seem to bear out, in some degree at least, Sir Robert Peel's earlier verdict that 'an honest despotic government would be by far the fittest government for Ireland.'' D.G. Boyce, The Historical Association 1996
