Customer Reviews

Brush is too broad
I EXPECTED more of this book but it suffers from trying to do too much with too little space. Th end result is a book which barely passes as an introduction to Ireland's fascinating history.
If you want to see what can be done with atlas-based history check out the exceptional Penguin Atlas of World History by Kinder and Hilgemann. Unfortunately the Atlas of Irish History doesn't even come close to that standard.

Invaluable reference book for Irish history
In a relatively small number of pages, the authors provide a vast amount of information for the student of Irish history. This work should be in the library of every person with an interest in the Emerald Isle.

Great Reference Book.
This book obviously represents a considerable work effort. It presents volumes of information in a clear and concise manner. Invaluable as a reference for those with any interest in Irish history.
