Overview

A Factbook of Irish History comprises almost 500,000 words and is a major contribution to Irish historiography. Its four volumes, including the Appendix published in 2026, contain thousands of facts from the earliest times to 1969, with the life dates, where available, of every person mentioned and a collection of Statements and Soundbites from Strabo to Jack Lynch. The Appendix also contains an eclectic collection of 25 essays on lesser-known aspects and events of Irish history. The wide range of sources used by the author includes manuscripts, state papers, parliamentary papers, political and religious tracts, legal texts, official reports, newspapers, magazines, pamphlets and a large number of books published in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. While it is published with teachers, students and researchers mainly in mind, A Factbook of Irish History is also accessible to the casual reader with an interest in Ireland's past. As a particular benefit for researchers, it provides references for many older and largely forgotten works which are in the public domain and free online.
