Developed through the prism of the U.S. presidency, and drawing on American, British, and Irish archival material, this major study examines the administrations of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, tracing the attitudes of successive US presidents towards, and their involvement in, the Northern Ireland conflict.
In this sweeping new study, James Cooper shows how American policy towards Ireland from Presidents Kennedy to Obama has played a central role in both U.S. domestic and foreign policy for over a half century. Well-written and based on exhaustive multiarchival research, Cooper is the first to so thoroughly cover the subject. What emerges is a book that is essential reading for all students of the presidency and U.S.-Irish relations. -- Luke A. Nichter, Texas A&M University
