The History of Ireland book - Flame Tree Publishing

The history of Ireland is a story of oppression and emancipation, characterized by foreign rule and the fight for freedom. It is a history where religious and political conflicts coexist with a shared love of ancient magic that surrounds the island. The Irish have a strong sense of national identity, reflected in their heritage: their legacy is ancient, and their culture is unique. The history of Ireland offers a comprehensive journey from A to Z through a turbulent past that has shaped the country today. Each entry is marked by one of seven themes, such as Culture and Politics, which can then be followed as threads throughout the book. This way, it provides a thorough background and a deeper understanding of many characters and events.

Incredible titles and a very wide range of authors are the hallmark of Flame Tree Publishing.
