Raves and Reviews
'With this new edition of his Ireland: A Short History, Joseph Coohill performs an incredible service—he provides a narrative history of Ireland from prehistory through the early twenty-first century that is accessible without being reduced to caricature. It offers general readers an excellent introduction to Irish history. It should earn a place of honor on the shelves of those who love Ireland and want to know more about its rich past.
