Review title: This is an old book
Product review: I am glad that someone finally pointed out that this book has an original publication date in the early 1920s. This is not a good history book - historical analysis has moved on considerably since this was written and I doubt that the author was even aware of the current scholarship of his time. The book is more fiction and opinion than anything else. Early Irish myths, for example are taken as historical fact and his work on later Ireland, especially the eighteenth century, shows a real lack of knowledge of what was actually going on. Original source material is not something that the author apparently understood or cared about. If you are looking for a valid history of Ireland go somewhere else.
