Summary

This third edition of John O'Beirne Ranelagh's classic history of Ireland incorporates contemporary political and economic events as well as the latest archaeological and DNA discoveries. Comprehensively revised and updated throughout, it considers Irish history from the earliest times through the Celts, Cromwell, plantations, famine, Independence, the Omagh bomb, peace initiatives, and financial collapse. It profiles the key players in Irish history from Diarmuid MacMurrough to Gerry Adams and casts new light on the events, North and South, that have shaped Ireland today. Ireland's place in the modern world and its relationship with Britain, the US and Europe is also examined with a fresh and original eye. Worldwide interest in Ireland continues to increase, but whereas it once focussed on violence in Northern Ireland, the tumultuous financial events in the South has opened fresh debates and drawn fresh interest. This is a new history for a new era.
