The Treaty Liam Weeks

The Treaty was ratified 64 votes to 57 by the Sinn Féin members of the Revolutionary Dáil Éireann, splitting Sinn Féin irrevocably and leading to the Irish Civil War, a rupture that still defines the Irish political landscape almost one hundred years on. Drawing together the work of a diverse range of scholars, The Treaty addresses this vexed historical and political question for a new generation of readers in the ongoing Decade of Commemorations, to determine what caused the split and its consequences that are still felt today.
