Robert Kee's classic bestseller remains an essential survey of the country and its people; an introduction to the fascinating history that has made modern Ireland, and a thought -provoking examination of how past facts have bred present myths.
- 'His achievment is to explain, lucidly & vividly, the bloodlines of the conflict… Kee makes jumping centuries seem easy and, with flashes of gallows humour, exhilarating' - THOMAS PAKENHAM
- 'Mr Kee writes with a combination of verve, clarity and insight' - S. TEL.
- 'I have seldom, if ever, read anything so superbyly constructed…So evocative, so acute, so replete with perception, that it will inspire the reader to want to know more…' - Brian Walden
