From the front dust jacket flap: "The history of Ireland is one of both turbulence and color. It is a country rich in ancient customs and fascinating peoples. This comprehensive guide traces the history of Ireland from the earliest settlers, through the domination of various races to the present day.... Encompassing stories of some of Ireland's greatest characters, the country's greatest moments and its darkest hours, Irish History tells the tale of the country's struggles and its victories, its people and its places, and its wealth of culture and traditions. It is the essential guide to the events and figures who have helped shape the country today." Author: "Seamus Mac Annaidh is one of the world's leading authorities on Irish history. He has written numerous historical works and contributed to many books, magazines, and television programs." *** This marvelous book includes Irish history from prehistoric times to the present day, and it features culture, politics, and religion. It also contains more than 200 illustrations, which really bring the text to life in a colorful, vibrant way. The last paragraph of the Introduction provides a good entry into the book: "Ireland, with one of the oldest cultures and vernacular literatures in Western Europe, was a country the English never fully understood. It was a wild place, full of magic and superstition according to their chroniclers, and yet, at the same time, it was renowned across continental Europe for its piety and learning - as a land of scholars and saints - no less."
