In this episode Helen and Matthew speak with historian Dr Donal Lowry, senior member of Regents Park College, Oxford. Donal is an expert on the British Empire, particularly Rhodesia and Northern Ireland, and in our conversation he traces fascinating links between the situation in 1920s Ireland and Britain's colonial history in Rhodesia.
The chapter we discussed is in the book The Break-up of Greater Britain, which will be published in 2021, edited by Stuart Ward  and Christian Pedersen.
