Inhaltsangabe
Between the 1460s and the 1630s Ireland was transformed from a medieval into a modern society. A poor society on the periphery of Europe, dominated by the conflicts of competing warlords- Irish and English- it later became a centralised political unit with a single government and code of laws, and a still primitive, but rapidly developing, market economy. These changes, however, had been achieved by brutal wars of conquest, while large scale colonisation projects had created lasting tensions between old inhabitants and recent settlers. At the same time the great religious divide of the Reformation had introduced a further source of conflict to Ireland, dividing the population into two hostile camps, while at the same time giving it a new and dangerous role in the conflict between England and its continental enemies. Against this confused and constantly changing background, individuals and groups had repeatedly to adapt their customs and behaviour, their political allegiances and aspirations, and their sense of who they were. A long and complex story, with many false starts and numerous dead ends, it is the story of the people who became the modern Irish.

Críticas
...a magisterial tour de force...right from the start Connolly highlights obscure occurrences and sets them in perspective, corrects the misunderstandings that many of us will have inherited from the schoolroom or the lecture hall, and shows us above all that in our past no cause is pure, no sacrifice without calculation, no identity cast eternally in stone, no downfall without benefit to those who linger stealthily in the wings. (Books Ireland)
Regularly itemising exquisite details of much political intrigue, Connolly provides lucid accounts of the growing corruption, duplicity and profiteering of New English officials. (William J Smyth, Irish Times)
smart and insightful (Patrick Griffin, Field Day Review)
