The Transformation of Ireland

by Diarmaid Ferriter

Description

In 1900 Ireland was a restless, impoverished, neglected corner of the British Empire. By 2000 it had become the 'Celtic Tiger'. How did this happen? Diarmaid Ferriter draws together the complex threads that make up Ireland's story - from the high drama of it politics, to the 'hidden pasts' drawn from memoirs and other sources.
