Author: My goal in writing this book was to introduce Irish history and its interpretations in a way that general readers will find interesting and understandable. Ireland is a complex place, and Irish history is a complicated thing. I've tried to show how varying interpretations of that history have been crucial to people's conceptions of Ireland and what it means to be Irish. Please let me know whether you've liked it. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfیgbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.
