This book is the first detailed study of the English settlements in southwest Ireland. The author argues that the migration was, rather than a "colonial" process, a natural movement from southwest England to a pleasant neighboring region. He concentrates on the Munster plantation: the nature of the land confiscation in the 1580s, the settlers involved, the number of families established, and the ways in which the English both modified the province and were changed by its local conditions.

London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson

A remarkable, powerful record of a nation and its people. Over the last century, Ireland has suffered from political, military and religious struggles, which all come to life in dramatic photographs and compelling text. They show the Anglo-Irish gentry in their finery and the poor working in the fields, prosperous homes and sod-built cabins; lively culture and joy in sport; scenes of social unrest and violence; and the arrival of independence. “An extraordinary collection of photgraphs...is the basis for this fascinating book, although much extra is to be gleaned from a probing text by the author.”—Irish Echo. “Provocative... Recommended for public collections.”—Library Journal.
