Review

'A book which compresses the Irish story from pre-history to post-Sunningdale with notable dexterity and justice of scale, [the author] attains a remarkably dispassionate detachment of tone.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'... clear and objective - and free from recrimination. His final reflection on Irish history is that whatever may happen in the North, the fortunes of Ireland and Britain will remain necessarily interdependent ... A useful contribution to Irish history - both readable and reliable.' Albion

Book Description

Revised and updated, this edition covers the full sweep of Irish history from the earliest times up to President Clinton's second visit to Ireland in 1998, in the wake of the Omagh bomb and the surrounding peace initiatives.
