Description
Britain and Ireland: A Concise History provides a comprehensive overview of the history of the British Isles from prehistory to the present day. The book is divided into chronological chapters, covering key events such as the Roman occupation, the Reformation, the Industrial Revolution, and the formation of the British Empire.
This new edition has expanded material on post-1800 Irish history, including in-depth analysis of the Famine, Home Rule, the Irish Civil War, partition, the Troubles, the Good Friday Agreement, and the Brexit fallout. The book also explores national developments such as Thatcherism, Blairism, monarchy, austerity, devolution, the Scottish referendum, and international relations with the US, Europe, and the Commonwealth.
With accompanying illustrations, information boxes, and a selection of documents to challenge students, this concise history presents not only the story of what happened in the British Isles but also its interdependence with Europe and the rest of the world.
