| 1. | Sinn Féin: A Hundred Turbulent Years
Paperback (490 pages) by Brian Feeney (The O'Brien Press Ltd.)
Sinn Fein 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 Fein boasts a roll-call of major personalities from twentieth-century Irish history including de Valera, Markievicz, Collins, O Bradaigh, Goulding, MacGiolla, and McGuinness. Brian Feeney traces Sinn Fein'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 Fein's involvement in Irish politics, north and south, over the last hundred years.

| 2. | The Resurrection of Ireland: The Sinn Féin Party, 1916-1923
Kindle Edition (532 pages) by Michael Laffan (Cambridge University Press)
Between 1916 and 1923 Ireland experienced a political as well as a military revolution. This book examines how--after the Easter Rising of 1916--radical revolutionaries formed a precarious coalition with (relatively) moderate politicians. The new Sinn Féin party routed its enemies, cooperated uneasily with the underground Irish government, and achieved most of its objectives before disintegrating in 1922. Its rapid collapse should not distract from its achievements--in particular its role in "democratizing" the Irish revolution--while its successors since have dominated the political life of independent Ireland.
