Ireland has rarely been out of the news during the past thirty
years. Whether as a war-zone in which Catholic nationalists and
Protestant Unionists struggled for supremacy, a case study in
conflict resolution or an economy that for a time promised to make
the Irish among the wealthiest people on the planet, the two
Irelands have truly captured the world's imagination. Yet
single-volume histories of Ireland are rare. Here, Thomas Bartlett,
one of the country's leading historians, sets out a fascinating new
history that ranges from prehistory to the present. Integrating
politics, society and culture, he offers an authoritative
historical road map that shows exactly how - and why - Ireland,
north and south, arrived at where it is today. This is an
indispensable guide to both the legacies of the past for Ireland's
present and to the problems confronting north and south in the
contemporary world.
