Rough Guide Chronicle Ireland Concise History

The Rough Guide Chronicle: Ireland depicts the warp and weft of Irish history from early beginnings, with the island's mesolithic past, and the later arrival of the Celts, then moving on to Roman raids, Christian settlement, Viking invasion and the arrival of the English in the twelfth century. With maps and illustrations, and sidebars on everything from the Great Famine to Oscar Wilde, the Corrs and Mary Robinson, the main narrative maintains a meticulous approach to its coverage of colonial and post-colonial Ireland, the background to revolt, civil war, Bloody Sunday, the "troubles" and the Good Friday agreement.Rough Guides Staff is the author of 'Rough Guide Chronicle Ireland Concise History' with ISBN 9781858289243 and ISBN 1858289246.
