An excellent introduction to the history of Ulster.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Shorter Illustrated History of Ulster (A Blackstaff paperback original) (Paperback)
This is an abridged, illustrated and updated edition of "A History of Ulster". The longer work is certainly much more suitable for reference purposes, since considerable detail has been left out of the shorter version. However, the contemporary quotations and the illustrations together give an excellent flavour of the events being described. Unless you are specifically looking for a reference book, the shorter book provides a very attractive and well-illustrated alternative.

A well-illustrated overview of the history of Ulster.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Shorter Illustrated History of Ulster (A Blackstaff paperback original) (Paperback)
This is an abridged, illustrated and updated edition of "A History of Ulster" by the same author. The longer work is certainly much more suitable for reference purposes, since considerable detail has been left out of the shorter version. However, the contemporary quotations and the illustrations together give an excellent flavour of the events being described. Unless you are specifically looking for a reference book, the shorter book provides a very attractive and well-illustrated alternative.
