A history of Ulster

the long version

"First published in 1992, A History of Ulster achieved what few other books had even attempted - a comprehensive account of the province, spanning nine thousand years of social, political, and economic life." "For this new updated edition Jonathan Bardon has written an introductory chapter covering events since 1992, a year 'that seems to be half an age distant from the year 2001'. His description of the process that saw the region emerge from thirty years of brutal conflict and move haltingly towards peace is a fitting coda to this classic of Irish history."--Jacket.
