Story of Ireland by Neil Hegarty
The history of Ireland has traditionally focused on the localized struggles of religious conflict, territoriality and the fight for Home Rule. This book presents a new take on Irish history, challenging the narrative that has been told for generations and drawing fresh conclusions about the way the Irish have lived.
