The Story of Ireland
About this audiobook
"The Hon. Emily Lawless has brought together enough historic material to establish the claim of the Emerald isle to a place among the nations of the earth. There were days when, as in England, noble lords and fair ladies lived in splendor and were the pride of their country, and when Ireland's sons believed in her future. The story of these days, of the early English invasions, and of the causes which have led to the present condition of the country, are briefly but conscientiously sketched by Miss Lawless." -The North American Review
Comprehensive and engaging, The Story of Ireland is an eye-opening account of a nation that has long been shaped by forces beyond its coasts. The Story of Ireland re-examines Irish history, challenging the accepted stories and long-held myths associated with Ireland. The Story of Ireland is an essential text for readers who are fascinated by events, politics, and history.
