Description

Michael Staunton. This illustrated volume tells the 2,000-year-old story of faith in Ireland, sometimes bringing the Irish people together & sometimes dividing them. Religious beliefs & traditions have molded Ireland’s past & present in spectacular ways. From pagan times through to the 21st century, this book brings to life the people whose faith changed Ireland’s history, including St. Brigid & Jonathan Swift, Daniel O’Connell & Eamonn de Valera. The fascinating stories, from the real St. Patrick to the truth about the violence in Northern Ireland, are accompanied by striking photographs & are often told in the words of the people who experienced the events. Dr. Michael Staunton is a lecturer in History at University College Dublin. Color & b&w illustrations.
