The Irish Boundary Commission was set up in 1924 (after abortive discussions toward such an end in 1912 and 1920) to determine (and in detail change) the boundary between the Irish Free State (later renamed the Republic of Ireland), and the British territory of Northern Ireland, on a vague basis of "in accordance with the wishes of the inhabitants, so far as may be compatible with economic and geographic conditions".

The commission's final report and recommendations were suppressed, due to controversy after a press leak of its draft border changes, and then the resignation of the Irish Free State commissioner, Eóin MacNeill, leaving only the Northern Irish one, J. R. Fisher, and a British–South African chairman-moderator, Richard Feetham. Most records of the commission's proceedings were taken to the UK.

After British freedom-of-information legislation passed in the late 1960s, the report, together with a collection of records from the British National Archives (minutes, papers, correspondence, records of oral and written evidence) were finally published in 1969, including a map and detailed textual description of the boundary changes that would have been recommended – and which might have altered (for better or worse) the violent course of modern Ulster history.

The book features a concise but generally sufficient introduction by editor Geoffrey J. Hand, outlining the commission's formation, operation, and eventual failure, though this is covered in more detail in several stand-alone books.
