The Making of Modern Ireland 1603 - 1923

Meer over het boek

This book is a masterly achievement: the collection, sorting, selecting, and balancing of material has meant an immense amount of hard and highly skillful work. The presentation is learned, cool, objective, unimpassioned, and yet almost always alive and compassionate. As a reference book alone, it is immensely valuable. As an example of a humane, scholarly, expert history, this book will be difficult to surpass. The book is admirably constructed and written with clarity and economy, which carry the narrative unflaggingly through to the end. This excellent book supersedes all previous histories of modern Ireland.
