'R.F. Foster's account of Ireland from 1600 to 1972 is a dazzling description of that nation's tragedy, and of its resilience. Modern Ireland is late-twentieth-century history at it's very best... His pace is brisk, his analyses almost always plausible, his grasp of the relevant literature impressive and his literary style compelling' Andrew M. Greeley, The New York Times Book Review
