Sinn Fein: A Hundred Turbulent Years by Brian Feeney

From the Publisher

The fascinating story of the rise and fall of a party that repeatedly reshaped its identity over 100 years is detailed in this book on Sinn Féin. From Arthur Griffith to Gerry Adams, a roll-call of major personalities from 20th century Irish history and politics are profiled, including de Valera, Markievicz, Collins, Goulding, MacDiolla, and McGuinness. This book traces Sinn Féin's zigzag path toward constitutional politics, presents a critical analysis of Sinn Féin's personalities and policies over the century, and shows how it has arrived at last in government in the north with hopes of a future role in coalition in the republic. It examines the party in terms of those who have led it, and its relationship to the IRA and the British and Irish governments. This is an impartial analysis of Sinn Féin's involvement in Irish politics, north and south, over the last 100 years.
