This third edition of John O'Beirne Ranelagh's classic account of the history of Ireland traces the story to the twenty-first century. Comprehensively revised and updated throughout, the book considers Irish history from the earliest times through the plantations, famine, Home Rule, Independence, the Troubles, the Omagh bomb and surrounding peace initiatives, and economic crisis. It casts new light on the people and the events which have contributed to Irish society, both in the North and South, and charts Ireland's changing place in the modern world and its relationship with Britain, the US and Europe. Worldwide interest in Ireland continues to increase, but whereas it once focussed on violence in Northern Ireland, the tumultuous financial situation in the South has opened fresh debates and drawn fresh interest, and this book offers a new history for a new era.
