Her Music and, her Poetry and Theatre, her ancient Brehon laws. How people lived in the times of Brian Boru, what they wore and what they ate and drank. It's the story of her roads, her railways, her canals. It's the story of her industries, her agriculture, her linen, her ship building, and her modern financial revolution. It's the story of the Irish in America, and the trials and tribulations they faced to get there. But it's also her history, the history of her peoples, of the Famine and the wars, of the Celts and the Norman invaders and how they blended together and eventually made that unique people with music in their souls and business in their brains, the Irish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrian Igoe (MA in law from Cambridge University in England, so thinks he can write...) is very much a family man who has four sons and three granddaughters and celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary last year. He never even thought about writing anything more than a diary or a professional document until he retired. That momentous event left him with time to write for fun, almost exclusively history, sometimes presented in novel form. He writes either Irish history (he is Irish) or Southern African, since he lived in Zimbabwe for thirty years - he still thinks of that beautiful country as home even though he now lives in the UK. And now, of course, Roman History. Apart from history, a passion since his schooldays, his other great passion has been flying light aircraft, which is how he survived the years of the Liberation Struggle, or so he says! That, and computers. He was involved with running an automated dairy herd on a Kaypro \"portable\" computer in 1983 and has never looked back. That was why he took to eBooks as soon as he came across them, and now everything he writes is available as either eBook or paperback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 374\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.77 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 12, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52625759437107,"sku":"9781539309079","price":27.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Uq2IFg6k5I9781539309079.webp?v=1762052217","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-story-of-ireland-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
