Library Journal Review

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day comes a revised edition of this benchmark volume. Moody and Martin, professors at Dublin's Trinity and University colleges, respectively, compiled the work of 21 scholars into this history that LJ's reviewer labeled "authoritative, balanced, fair-minded, and beautifully written" (LJ 11/1/67). This updated version takes the material up to 1992. Essential for all Irish history collections. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
