Need Anglo-Irish Relations Advice/Guidance (1 Viewer)

[roar84eighty]

I'm sure that there is another thread similar to this, but I couldn't be bothered to search it.

It will be Week 8 at my school on Monday and we are half-way through our Personality Study (Trotsky). We still have to start Anglo-Irish Relations. Yes, we are fucked for the trials.

All I am asking is for some advice and maybe some links to good sites or suggested textbooks/resources for the Anglo-Irish topic - so I have at least a slight chance to pass the exam. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Checking the forums it appears that this type of this is common and most have no replies.

Some awesome historians for this topic are McKittrick, McVea (they wrote Making Sense of the Troubles together, seriously recommend that book), Foster is pretty good, Dixon... it's fairly hard to find resources on the topic :mad1:

But if you go to resources, there is one download FULL of historian quotes, and it's really helpful - can't remember the name (sorry!) but it's pretty much one of the only Ireland resources there..

Good luck!

and

but the best stuff come from media sources there is heaps in utube a wickapedia and wesights like that

my class uses making sense of the troubles as our primary text, and in a way ireland is such a boring topic. It has a timeline at the end of the book, and eveeeery single page is like IRA blows this up x people die, loyalists retaliate and y people die. Republicans whinge, Unionists refuse to budge. Rinse and repeat x25 years
