Book Reviews of Malachy McCourt's History of Ireland (paperback)
Book Review: Easy read but poorly edited.
Summary: 2 Stars
Book presumes a general knowledge of Irish history and is therefore a little hard to follow. Poorly edited: index is inaccurate, blank spaces on pages, grammatical errors. Refers to people without explaining who they are. A chatty tone makes it a fairly easy read; seems to have an anti-British, anti-Protestant bias. Not what you're looking for if you want an overview of Irish history (which I did!) Found the part about Easter Uprising of 1916 especially confusing, even though there were several bios from that era.
