This review is from: Clan Kinsella's History of Ireland (Paperback)

Wonderful handsome volume of early and medieval Irish history and genealogy focusing on Leinster and the Clan Kinsella. Brian Boru and the later Norman invasion of Ireland and Dermot macMurrough are looked at carefully. Not another quick knockoff to make a quick buck this beautiful book had a lot of care in the book production and the footnoted research. This is for the hardcover edition.

This review is from: Clan Kinsella's History of Ireland (Paperback)

This book can stand alone as either a history of Ireland, or as a history of the Kinsella Clan. Fortunately for us, it is both. The book takes us from the initial migration of people to the island, through the pre-Christian and Christian times, all the way to the eventual birth of an independent Irish nation. In addition to covering key historical figures from Irish history, it also covers both well known and lesser known Kinsella ancestors, including the infamous King Dermot MacMurrough.

I'd recommend this book both for those with an interest in Kinsella history - or a deep interest in Irish history.
