The Story of Ireland

Categories:

15.85

Neil Hegarty’s bestselling history of Ireland is a story crowded with the drama of complex characters, shifting allegiances and changing identities. Revisiting the major turning points in the Irish story, Hegarty looks not only at the dynamics of what happened in Ireland, but also at the role of events abroad.

With a new afterword that covers the dramatic events of 2011 – including the multi-billion-euro international bailout of Ireland’s economy, Fianna Fáil’s electoral meltdown, and the first ever visit by a British sovereign to the Irish Republic – Story of Ireland is the history of a country shaped by and helping shape the world around it. Accompanying a landmark series coproduced by the BBC and RTE, and with an introduction by series presenter, Fergal Keane, Story of Ireland is an epic account of Ireland’s history for an entire new generation.
