Official synopsis Publisher
A remarkable, powerful record of a nation and its people. Over the last century, Ireland has suffered from political, military and religious struggles, which all come to life in dramatic photographs and compelling text. They show the Anglo-Irish gentry in their finery and the poor working in the fields, prosperous homes and sod-built cabins; lively culture and joy in sport; scenes of social unrest and violence; and the arrival of independence. “An extraordinary collection of photgraphs…is the basis for this fascinating book, although much extra is to be gleaned from a probing text by the author.”—Irish Echo. “Provocative… Recommended for public collections.”—Library Journal.
