Book Reviews of In Search of Ireland's Heroes: The Story of the Irish from the English Invasion to the Present Day

Book Review: Good overview, slightly slanted
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a simple overview of modern Irish history, told from the perspective of the invadee, not the invader. The book has a slight hint of this viewpoint, but does a great job of telling Irish history for the general reader without resorting to myth and legand.
