Customer Reviews
Masterly and comprehensive, if occasionally a bit of a slog - Rated Interested to learn more about a country I have visited many times and may well be seeing a lot more of in the near future, I picked this off the shelf as the best of the options available to me. It's extremely well written and comprehensively covers the whole of modern Irish history in a balanced and authoritative way. If I have one criticism, it is sometimes somewhat heavy going; if I can add another, in some places it assumes knowledge which the reader may not have. Although I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about modern history, it's precisely becaase I don't know about the history of Ireland that I bought and read the book, and a little more explanation in some places would have been welcome. But that said, (and unless anyone knows better) I would certainly recommend this to anyone with a serious desire to learn more about Irish history from someone who, unusually it seems, is keen to explain it without pushing an agenda at the same time.
