The Oath of Allegiance clause in the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, which obliged all elected representatives to swear allegiance to the British monarch, was the major cause of the Civil War. A narrative of a key moment in Irish history, Jim Maher analyses the Oath and its impact on the country's political development.
