A New Dictionary of Irish History from 1800 by Dj Hickey
The first paperback edition of the definitive reference book on modern Irish history. Comprising almost 2,000 headwords, it remains the only such work completely devoted to the modern period.
"..an invaluable guide for all students of history as well as a ready reference work for everyone else, including journalists and even historians." T. Ryle Dwyer, Irish Examiner "a useful library tool and quick deskside crib, with good cross-referring." Books Ireland "The whole panoply of Irish life is visited with some 2,000 articles on subjects as diverse as emigration, governments of Ireland, home rule, loyalism, agrarian violence, secret societies, together with hundreds of concise biographical articles... This book is excellent in every respect ... a treasure trove of varied and fascinating historical information. Very few books that I know will be as useful to the academic, the student or the general reader attempting to deepen their knowledge of modern Ireland." J. Anthony Gaughan, Irish Catholic
