D.J Hickey & J.E Doherty - A New Dictionary of Irish History from 1800 - HB - 2003

Product Description

Heavy age tanning to the page block ( externally ) otherwise a very good clean and unmarked copy, binding tight, no damage noted. 

Hickey and Doherty's Dictionary of Irish History is a standard work of reference. Every article from the first edition has been revisited and revised for this 2003 edition. New articles have been added, including all the material pertaining to the last two decades. Some peripheral articles have been dropped or consolidated, although the authors have been careful not to lose those quirky, offbeat entries that were such a feature of the first edition. As before, the book comprises about 2,000 headwords on subjects as diverse as emigration, governments of Ireland, home rule, loyalism, agrarian violence, secret societies, plus hundres of concise and informative biographical articles.
