Review of 'A Short History of Ireland, 1500-2000 ' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Accessible and succinct overview. I loved the brief land and climate summary in the beginning, it explains so much and I'd now like to hear land and climate summaries about more countries to understand them in the way they were described here. Most of my notes were from the 1900s onwards, covering the IRA, the War of Independence, the economy and emigration, and the Troubles.
