Reviews

[Patricia]

My ‘go to’ book on Irish history. Fourth time reading it.

[Anja]

A historic account told in many personale anecdotes about histories protagonists.

[Ronan Doyle]

Brisk guide to a formative period for Ireland, ideal intro for the uninitiated and well-written enough to reward even the well-versed. O'Connor has done his homework and weaves together this history's many disparate strands to a compelling grand narrative. Plenty of little insights here that came as new to me.
