'A Short History of Ireland' traces the successive invasions of Celts, Vikings and Normans, the Tudor and Stuart settlements and the gradual emergence of the "Irish Question" in British politics.

Succinct biographies of prominent figures, photographs, descriptions of major historical sites and a list of important dates are included, making this an ideal introduction for anyone with an interest in Ireland. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
