No country's history has been more obscured by prejudice and emotion than Ireland's. By untangling the complex threads from St. Patrick's mission onwards, A Short History of Ireland (originally published in 1952, reissuing the sixth edition of 1979) traces Ireland's evolution through the 1970s and makes her modern history intelligible. This book will be a valuable resource for students and researchers of history.
