Blurb: “IRELAND - No one will galhsay that Ireland is a beautiful, enchanted place. But Ireland is much more than this. It has a history more varied, turbulent, fascinating and terrible than any other. From the first English presence in Ireland in the twelfth century, through siege, rebellion and civil war, to Irish Ascendancy, Home Rule and the present-day Troubles, Paul Johnson tells, with remarkable clarity and concision, the compelling story of this most remarkable island.
‘A lively, intelligent, sometimes provocative but always stimulating account of Ireland from the twelfth century to our own' - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
