A Short History of Ireland
This third edition of John O'Beirne Ranelagh's classic history of Ireland incorporates contemporary political and economic events as well as the latest archaeological and DNA discoveries. Comprehensively revised and updated throughout, it considers Irish history from the earliest times through the Celts, Cromwell, plantations, famine, Independence, the Omagh bomb, peace initiatives, and financial collapse. It profiles the key players in Irish history from Diarmuid MacMurrough to Gerry Adams and casts new light on the events, North and South, that have shaped Ireland today. Ireland's place in the modern world and its relationship with Britain, the USA and Europe is also examined with a fresh and original eye. Worldwide interest in Ireland continues to increase, but whereas it once focused on violence in Northern Ireland, the tumultuous financial events in the South have opened fresh debates and drawn fresh interest. This is a new history for a new era.

The Organisation
This captivating book delves into the secretive world of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and its profound impact on Ireland' s political landscape between 1914 and 1924. With the aid of new documentation, Ranelagh unravels the true influence of the oath-bound society without which the 1916 Rising might never have taken shape.For Michael Collins, the IRB was the true custodian of the Irish Republic, and the only body he pledged his loyalty to, but its legacy remains obscured by its intense secrecy. This book re-introduces the IRB as the organisation that created and furnished the IRA, influenced the result of the critical 1918 election, and changed the face of Irish history.From É amon de Valera' s recollections of how he first learned of the Treaty to narratives from Nora Connolly O' Brien, Emmett Dalton, and others, testimonies from key figures paint a vivid picture of the IRB' s inner workings and external influence.A fascinating exploration of secret societies, political manoeuvres, and personal sacrifices, The Organisation casts new light on a pivotal chapter in Ireland' s quest for independence.

Ha DE IRLANDA
Esta tercera edición de la reconocida historia de Irlanda de John O'Beirne Ranelagh incorpora los acontecimientos políticos y económicos ocurridos en los últimos años. Profundamente revisada y actualizada, analiza la historia de Irlanda desde los primeros tiempos a través de los celtas, Cromwell, los asentamientos, la hambruna, la Independencia, la bomba de Omagh, las iniciativas de paz…, hasta llegar al colapso financiero de 2007.
