The Ulster question since 1945

This major work of synthesis presents an up-to-date assessment of the problem at the very root of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Framed against the background of Ulster history since the early seventeenth century, the major factors in the development of the problem since 1945 are examined. These include the evolution of Ulster Unionism and the Nationalist and Republican traditions, the role of Britain and that of increasingly important external actors, especially the USA.

First sentence: Probably the most significant consequence of Northern Ireland's wartime contribution was the fact that it now had the support of both major political parties, the new Labour government - traditionally sympathetic to Irish nationalism - no less than the outgoing Tory-dominated administration.
