'An Illustrated History of Ireland' provides a facinating account of the origins of the Irish people from prehistoric times to the present day. It tells of the effects of invasion, war, famine and emigration and how these have influenced the make up of Ireland and the Irish. The specially commissioned photography covers all the most architecturally and historically important buildings, as well as many that are off the heavily beaten tourist tracks.
