The IRA and the Partition of Ireland
How should we view the Irish Republican Army's long history of political violence, and what can it reveal as we reflect on the hundredth anniversary of the partitioning of Ireland in the 1920s.
Professor Richard English, author of numerous books on Irish republicanism and its politics, examines in this talk numerous figures and episodes from one of the most important organizations to have engaged with the politics of Irish partition.
