{"product_id":"labour-and-the-northern-ireland-russell-rees-9780716529705","title":"Labour and the Northern Ireland Problem 1945-1951: The Missed Opportunity","description":"This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the impact made by Clement Attlee's post-war Labour government on the triangular relationship between Belfast, London and Dublin. The Stormont government had finished the war on a high note, but Labour's shock general election victory in July 1945 shook the confidence of Unionist party leaders who were unsure of the new Labour administration's intentions towards Ireland. The prospect of closer scrutiny by Westminster, particularly in relation to Stormont's treatment of the Catholic minority, troubled the Unionist government. At the same time, the anticipation of radical socialist legislation, some of which was likely to override Stormont's powers, was an additional source of concern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Rees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 071652970X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780716529705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Irish Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2009 pg. 109","brand":"Russell Rees","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48441308512511,"sku":"9780716529705","price":74.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_29116cb2-7c1d-4035-bedd-4084643a0f87.jpg?v=1777190071","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labour-and-the-northern-ireland-russell-rees-9780716529705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
