Chaucer’s Books hosts historian Joe Coohill for a book talk and signing of Ireland: A Short History. The author will be joined in conversation with writer Lorissa Rinehart (First to the Front: The Untold Story of Dickey Chapelle, Trailblazing Female War Correspondent).
Description
From the first prehistoric inhabitants of the island to the Windsor Framework for Northern Ireland, this uniquely concise account of Ireland and its people reveal how modern Irish society is the product of a rich, multivalent history.
Combining factual information with a critical approach, Coohill covers all the key events, including the Great Famine, Home Rule, the Good Friday Agreement and Brexit. Newly revised and updated, this highly accessible and balanced account will continue to provide a valuable resource to all those wishing to acquaint themselves further with the complex history of Ireland and Irish people.
