Concise History of Irland

This is a small book with small print that gives an overview of Irish History from about 400AD to mid 1920's. With the equally small and concise book: "The Celtic World," these may be the only Irish History you need.

An excellent, concise little history

A Little History of Ireland is a small, charming book which contains a few pages on each major event in Irish history and accompanying illustrations. There are fourteen subsections dealing with specific events, such as "The Flight of the Earls", "The Battle of the Boyne", and "The Easter Rising". The book begins with the arrival of Saint Patrick (believed 423 AD) and ends with the end of republican resistance to the treaty forming the Irish Free State in 1923, and in between it contains a surprising amount of concisely stated information. It is quite well writen and a wonderful way to familiarise oneself with Irish history without pouring through massive volumes. 59pp.
