Princes of Ireland - Dublin Saga star[offsite link]
Irish history is rich and often challenging, to everyone, not just the Irish. Only part of the challenge is that so much of the important bits of Irish history is in Gaelic. To cover such a time period as the "Dublin Saga," is proof enough that the author has a mental capacity the likes of which we will not often get a read from in our lifetimes. This book gives us 800 pages of creditable historical work in understandable English.

Yeats, Mystic and Statesman star
William Butler Yeats was an Anglo-Irish poet who used his gifts to further the cause of Irish liberation. He was a senator in the first Senate of the Irish Free State in 1922.
