About the Book
Traces the important social, religious and political developments of Ireland's struggle to become a unified, settled country. Johnson describes with detail Ireland's barbarous beginnings, Oliver Cromwell's religious "crusade," the tragic Irish potato famine, the Ulster resistance and the outstanding fact of the constant British-Irish connection and the fearful toll of life it exacted.
