- Summary:
-
"This book concentrates on three critical years in the development of Derry, when the corporation was controlled by a nationalist / Sinn Feín majority. In January 1920 the city elected its first nationalist mayor and corporation since the 1600s. The book recounts the life of this corporation and the subsequent violence and destruction, as the city sought to define its position within the national struggle for independence. Particular attention is paid to 1920 when, for a brief moment, the city came to the brink of civil war. The book also examines the day-to-day operation of the corporation (particularly the ambitious Banagher water scheme) as well as the circumstances the corporation founditself in nationally, when Sinn Feínn accepted a truce with the British in 1921"--P. [4] of cover.
