Review title: Irish Pride
Product review: An excellent survey of the history of my people. However, there ARE some fallacies in MacManus' "facts" that are easily disproven. Practically, everyone of a famous educational/theological role in the book, who had a staple on continental Europe, is Irish in the book.Examples: Ulysses the Homer of RomeAugustine of Hippo p.238 (the most famous Christian Theologian of the fifth century born in Africa or present-day Tunisia!)MacManus' statement is not backed by facts, save a collection of academic articles from the Royal Irish Academy.Granted, we would not have Augustine to read today if it werent for my people, but leave Romans as Romans and Gaels as Gaels.-Beyond this, everything else in it's 700 pages is as factual, and literary, as Cahill's How the Irish Saved Civilization. A great read that I'd recommend to anyone wanting to know about the Irish. A must read for the proud Irish (or Scots) Gael.
