1. The countless Irish Americans curious about their rootsDescriere
The history of Ireland told through the words of the people who lived it Eyewitness to Irish History draws upon original source materials to capture the tumultuous events and rich texture of Irish history like no other book. Comparing the readings compiled here to snapshots, the renowned Celtic scholar Peter Berresford Ellis offers what is, in essence, a family album of Ireland and the Irish people beginning with Golamh, the legendary leader of the band of Iberian Celts who settled the island more than three thousand years ago, and concluding with gripping firsthand accounts by those on both sides of the bloody civil conflict in Northern Ireland.
Through sources ranging from ancient forsundun (praise songs) and the hero kings to newspaper accounts, public decrees, and even graffiti, Eyewitness to Irish History touches on virtually every major event and offers vivid portraits of everyday life in Ireland through the centuries.
"A goldmine of information."
The Herald (Glasgow)
"What an invaluable collection! [Ellis] gently guides readers through the centuries, but allows the eyewitnesses to tell their own stories. And they are riveting."
Terry Golway, author of For the Cause of Liberty: A Thousand Years of Ireland′s Heroes
"A powerful, expansive, and compelling compendium of the eyewitness in Irish history. This volume does full justice to [Ellis′s] reputation as a prodigious researcher and judicial commentator on the great sweep of Irish history."

Recenzii
This splendid book is an antidote to the antinationalist revisionism (Irish Democrat, Oct/Nov 2004) Unsurprisingly there is an awful lot of gunpowder, rapiers, pikes, musket balls and more recent technologies of killing (Belfast Telegraph, 8 May 2004)
a goldmine of information As a starting point for students and the general reader, this book can t be criticised. (The Herald (Glasgow), 1 May 2004)
