First published in 1980, Ireland: Land of Troubles is a fascinating
and eminently readable account of Ireland's history from the
twelfth century which gives a valuable insight into her twentieth
century Troubles. Ireland is a country which has produced examples
of the finest flowering of Western culture but also witnessed
centuries of turbulence and bloodshed. From the first establishment
of an English presence around Dublin in the twelfth century,
Ireland's turbulence has been responsible for wrecking the
reputations and destroying the causes of Richard II, the Earl of
Essex, Charles I and James II and a host of Lords Lieutenant and
Ministers, but no one could get to the heart of the 'Irish
problem.' And the great famine and depopulation of Ireland in the
nineteenth century, when four million of her people emigrated -
many to America - gave a boost to Irish nationalism and the
struggle for Home Rule, culminating eventually in Partition and the
continuing Troubles. The author combines his account of Ireland's
history with a penetrating insight into the rise of the Anglo-Irish
Establishment and the cultural and religious divides which form an
integral part of his story. This book will be of interest to
students of history, political science, war studies,
ethno-nationalism and internal security.
