Biografisk notat
John Gibney holds a doctorate in History from Trinity College Dublin. He has researched and published widely on Restoration Ireland, Irish historiography, and the Irish Revolution. Kate O'Malley is a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin where she received both her BA and PhD. She is Secretary of the Royal Irish Academy’s International Affairs Committee and a Research Associate of the Centre for Contemporary Irish History, TCD. Her research interests are Irish diplomatic and political history, twentieth century Indian history, British imperial and Commonwealth history, British decolonisation, intelligence history and transnational history.In their introduction to The Handover, authors John Gibney and Kate O’Malley say that their aim is 'to give a sense of the outward manifestations of power shifting at a precise moment in time and in a particular place with immense historical associations.' In this, they have succeeded triumphantly. Lavishly illustrated with fascinating photographs, documents and maps, this is a relatively short book which covers a lot of ground.
