| Publisher Description: Sinn F in is one of the oldest and most controversial parties in Irish politics. This is the fascinating story of a party which has repeatedly reshaped its identity over a hundred years. From Arthur Griffith to Gerry Adams, Sinn F in boasts a roll-call of major personalities from twentieth-century Irish history including de Valera, Markievicz, Collins, Br daigh, Goulding, MacGiolla, and McGuinness. Brian Feeney traces Sinn F in's zigzag path towards constitutional politics and presents a critical analysis of the party's personalities and policies over the century. He shows how it has arrived at last in government in the north with hopes of a future role in coalition in the republic, and confidently predicting a united Ireland. This is an important and timely book from an esteemed journalist, and an impartial analysis of Sinn F in's involvement in Irish politics, north and south, over the last hundred years. |
