Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Against Home Rule: The Case for the Union"" is a book written by Arthur James Balfour in 1912. The book is a political treatise that argues against the idea of home rule for Ireland and advocates for the continuation of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Balfour was a British Conservative politician who served as Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905. In this book, he presents a detailed analysis of the historical, political, and economic factors that make the idea of Irish home rule unworkable and undesirable. He argues that Ireland is not a separate nation, but an integral part of the United Kingdom, and that the proposed home rule would lead to the disintegration of the Union and the weakening of the British Empire. Balfour also addresses the concerns of the Irish nationalist movement and offers alternative solutions to address their grievances. The book is a significant contribution to the debate on Irish home rule and remains relevant to the political discourse on the issue.With Introduction By Sir Edward Carson, And Preface By A.
