'A brisk and clear introduction to Irish history.' -- Cormac O Grada, Professor Emeritus of Economics, University College Dublin 'Hands down the best textbook on the market.' -- Patrick McDevitt, Associate Professor of History, University of Buffalo 'With this new edition of his Ireland: A Short History, Joseph Coohill performs an incredible service-he provides a narrative history of Ireland from prehistory through the early twenty-first century that is accessible without being reduced to caricature. It offers general readers an excellent introduction to Irish history. It should earn a place of honor on the shelves of those who love Ireland and want to know more about its rich past. ' Dr Tim McMahon, Marquette University 'Fair to both the Nationalist and Unionist tradition.' -- Jeremy Black, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Exeter 'A comprehensive, even-handed, and elegantly concise introduction to Ireland's past.' Mary M. Burke, Professor of English, University of Connecticut
