 Description: From the back cover: "A masterly survey not so much of the events of Irish history over the past four centuries as of the way in which those events acted upon the peoples living in Ireland to produce in our own time an "Irish Nation" that was at last politically something more than rhetoric... a dazzling if demanding performance and those with knowledge of Irish history will be dipping in and out of it for years to check with Foster's many incisive comments." -- Robert Kee in the Observer.

This is a huge volume which will delight the interested student of Irish history.
