Modern Ireland: 1600-1972
In what PW described as an "engaging revisionist chronicle," the author traces Irish history from 1600, when the country had a subsistence economy and was home to a welter of peoples, each of whom defined their "Irishness" differently, to the 1970s, when Ireland--despite three centuries of conquest and fissure--was a country with a powerful identity.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
