History written from the perspective of the individuals who played significant roles and symbolized the transitional historical points or trends. And done in the marked wit of Malachy. Not the tight scholarship of a historian and seemless editing, but that is not what I expected. His cultural perspective is what I wanted and the book delivers. ( ) McCourt's History of Ireland is a series of snapshots of people, places and events in Irish history deemed important in McCourt's eyes, ranging from mythological heroes to ambiguous saints to lesser-known politiicans.Great for an introductory glimpse into Irish history, or for someone who wants to revisit it through a comedic and honest perspective.

New York Times bestselling author Malachy McCourt offers an authoritative and engrossing one-volume chronicle of Ireland from pre-Christian times to the present, told with Irish flair by the gifted storyteller. The pages are populated with figures from myth, history, and the present-from Saint Patrick to Oliver Cromwell, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and Charles Parnell to Sinead O'Connor and Bono. Some beloved, some controversial-each influenced the course of Irish and world history. While McCourt vividly describes Ireland's turbulent history, he also offers a cultural survey with fresh insights to the folklore, literature, art, music, and cuisine of Ireland, producing an irresistible tour through the Emerald Isle.
