This is an updated edition (to 1998) of John O'Beirne Ranelagh's standard introductory account of the history of Ireland, reissued in a revised and extended second edition in 1995.

This book covers the full sweep of Irish history from the earliest times up to President Clinton's second visit to Ireland in 1998, in the wake of the Omagh bomb and the surrounding peace initiatives. Throughout, the author's aim is to cast light on the people and the events which have contributed to Irish society, in both North and South.

Revue de presse

'A book which compresses the Irish story from pre-history to post-Sunningdale with notable dexterity and justice of scale, [the author] attains a remarkably dispassionate detachment of tone.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'... clear and objective - and free from recrimination. His final reflection on Irish history is that whatever may happen in the North, the fortunes of Ireland and Britain will remain necessarily interdependent ... A useful contribution to Irish history - both readable and reliable.' Albion
