Written in 1972 in the wake of Bloody Sunday and direct rule, States of Ireland was Conor Cruise O´Brien´s searching analysis of contemporary Irish nationalism: part-memoir, part-history, part-polemic.
´If The Great Melody (1992) is O´Brien´s major academic work, States of Ireland is the one that will endure as a vital moment in Irish intellectual and political history.´ Roy Foster, Standpoint
´States of Ireland [is] a book which influenced a generation. [O´Brien] saw that partition, while scarcely desirable in itself, recognized the reality of two different communities in the island, and that the Dublin state´s formal irredentist claim on Northern Ireland was undemocratic and even imperialistic, as well as insincere. The republican ideology to which most Irish people paid lip service was a shirt of Nessus, he later wrote: "it clings to us and burns".´ Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
