A good intro to modern Irish history, but written in a pretty dry and dull way. Minimal primary source material which made it hard to get lost in the world of it all. Great chapters on the Troubles though.

Good as a very general overview, but little more than that. Quite decent if you want a very concise, authoritative overview of the war in Northern Ireland from its roots until just after the Good Friday Agreement.
