Ireland : a divided island
Ireland : a divided island by Tony Rea & John Wright
Written specifically as a GCSE Modern World Study for the Schools History Project syllabuses. Based around a strong chronological narrative, Ireland: A Divided Island places current events within their broader historical context. However, regular reatures throughout the text also step back from the narrative to focus on key topics, or themes such as causation, interpretations, and change and continuity. In addition, biography pages on key individuals help students to assess the importance of the role of those individuals in the events described.
