These essays play with the ironies and follies of the campaign for a unified Ireland that has expressed little insight or care about what's involved. How do we square the Irish in Britain with the anti-Britishness of the politicians and pundits in Ireland, or with the clamour for removal of Northern Ireland from the UK in which many Irish prosper?

In ''The Idea of the Union: Great Britain and Northern Ireland'', historians, politicians, economists, journalists and scholars on both sides of the water break cover and declare for the Union. The 20 contributions form a manifesto in favour of the constitutional link between Northern Ireland and Great Britain rooted in history and the real world.
