4.0 out of 5 stars Easy Overview, August 11, 2005
This book is good for giving you a basic understanding of the chronology of events of Ireland's history. It's a nice easy read that gives you a basic understanding before you try to read some harder and more specific books on Irish history or politics.

3.0 out of 5 stars I expected more!, January 3, 2007
By autumn wolf (san antonio, texas) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed parts of the book, but I felt it could of been more informative about the country, and told more exciting bits of the folklore of Ireland. It talked more about the History than anything else, and I feel skipped many points of interest and excitement that we could of been reading instead. If the History is what you expected, it would of been informative, but the other aspects were dissapointing.
