Excellent

The complex politics of the Irish revolt against the English is brought into a new light by Robert Kee. Kee manages to describe the failures and successes of Irish nationalism over the centuries in an exceedingly readable book. The Green Flag consists of three volumes ending in 1973 and so does not cover the recent conflict. It is still one of the best books ever written on Irish history.
