Ireland in its own words: a dazzling compendium Over the past
hundred years, Ireland has undergone profound political, social and
cultural changes. But one thing that has not changed is the Irish
genius for observation and storytelling, invective and
self-scrutiny. Ireland: The Autobiography draws upon this genius to
create a portrait of a century of Irish life through the words of
the people who lived it. Broadcaster and historian John Bowman has
mined archives, diaries and memoirs to create a remarkably varied
and delightfully readable mosaic of voices and perspectives.
Ireland: The Autobiography is a brilliantly selected, wide-ranging
and engrossing take on the last century of Irish life. It gives us
a portrait of Ireland unlike anything we've read before. 'Absorbing
and illuminating ... John Bowman has selected a range of accounts
of Irish life that do justice to what happened, what it felt like,
and the personal and societal experiences alongside the "official"
version.' Diarmaid Ferriter, Irish Times 'A treasure' Irish
Examiner 'A whistle-stop tour of the seismic, seminal and explosive
events which shaped the nation as we know it' Irish Independent
'Entertaining and informative' Sunday Business Post 'A remarkably
varied and delightfully readable mosaic of voices and perspectives'
Women's Way 'A thoughtful and eclectic collection' Irish Mail on
Sunday
