<![CDATA[Verity added 'The Course of Irish History, 4th Edition']]>
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64845372
to: The Course of Irish History, 4th Edition (Paperback)byT.W. Moody bookshelves: global-culture-and-history
As most histories go, the focus is on the political and economical developments over the years and this book does not disappoint; though it should be noted that this history is very readable and approachable to the lay person, as each chapter is written by a different, authoritative author (ie Irish history professors who need work). The only problem I had was feeling a little lost in the latter fourth of the book and not having it clarified in a simple statement until a couple of chapters later. Also, it would have been better if the editors had switched the position of chapters 20 & 21, as the way chapter 20 (Northern Ireland 1921-66) was written (and given my lack of understanding of what was going on in that area at that time), I wasn't sure where the 'bigger picture' allegiances were.
