O'Brien does present facts that aided my understanding of the situation since 1916, though the format of the pocket series seems to leave out any background that would explain fundamental history. For someone who has that context, it seems like a complete listing of the facts. I wouldn't recommend it as an introductory history, nor as good writing.
