DIFP XIV is an essential collection of source material on the outbreak of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
It lays out in comprehensive detail, using many never previously published documents, the response of Jack Lynchs government to events in Northern Ireland from 1969 to 1973 and shows how Dublin came to develop a new approach to Northern Ireland as the search for peace in Northern Ireland came to dominate British-Irish relations.
The volume also covers in detail Irelands EEC accession negotiations and entry into the Common Market in 1973; Irelands policy at the United Nations General Assembly, Dublins response to the ending of the Biafran War, relations with the Nixon administration in the United States and Irelands first steps in opening diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and Japan.
