Booklaunch of Ireland 1922: Independence, Partition, Civil War, edited by Darragh Gannon and Fearghal McGarry
About this event
Speakers: Darragh Gannon (UCD), Fearghal McGarry (QUB), Margaret O'Callaghan (QUB).
Fifty essays. Fifty contributors. One extraordinary year.
From the handover of Dublin Castle, to the dawning of a new border across the island, to the fateful divisions of the civil war, Ireland 1922 provides a snapshot of a year of turmoil, tragedy and, amidst it all, state-building as the Irish revolution drew to a close.
Leading international scholars from different disciplines explore a turning point in Irish history; one whose legacy remains controversial a century on.

This will be a free hybrid event to celebrate the publication of this important book, accessible via MS Teams and (we hope) also in person in the Great Hall (Lanyon Building) at QUB (please note change of venue). Please indicate your preference when selecting tickets. If we are unable to proceed with the in-person event we will add everyone to the online participants list.
Copies of the book will be available on the day via No Alibis bookshop, or online via the RIA link above.
