I first checked this book out at the local library, listening to it on CD's. I have some "Celtic" dna, but what is more interesting to me is how such an important slice of European history has been sidelined . It just shows that those who usually write history will exaggerate their own contributions to the neglect of others. The Irish never built great cities, so there are few relics of their past contributions. They did not have a written language until after 400 AD., thus there is not much that reveals their historic contributions. The book is totally exciting and rewarding to read. I now have a hardcopy and audio copy of this book. I wanted to check their sources of data, hence the desire to have a written copy. This is one of my favorite books in my library. What a great read.Read full review

Cahill writes with a lance! Witty, intelligent, precise and biting. How The Irish Saved Civilization is a must have, must read for anyone truly interesting in depth and magnitude of Irish influence in modern history
