About this product

Product Information

In this history of Ireland, the text unravels the threads that make up Irish history. Celts, Vikings, and Normans battle for supremacy in the early days; Christianity and kingship are established; later come stories of plantation and rebellion, the development of constitutional and extra-constitutional political cultures, and the emergence of the competing Nationalist and Unionist traditions. Ireland's history is dominated by personalities: St Patrick brought Christianity to the island, while, so legend maintains, also ridding it of snakes; the warrior king Brian Boru; the invader Strongbow; the merciless conqueror Oliver Cromwell; William of Orange; and James II as well as the patriots and politicians of more recent times - Daniel O'Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, Patrick Pearse, Edward Carson, Eamon de Valera and Michael Collins.
