Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Indestructible Nation: A Survey of Irish History From the English Invasion, the First Phase; The Overthrow of the Clans It has been conceded in recent years that there is a good deal for Irishmen to be proud of in the history of Ireland before the English invasion, but the same concession has not been made with regard to post-invasion history. The author believes that it should, and this book is intended to tell some of the truth with regard to Irish political history after the invasion. It contains more of the truth about that than any other book on the same period in its political aspect. It is not impartial. Impartiality in Irish history writing has meant in every case a non-acceptance of the historic Irish Nation, and the result has been a political pamphlet rather than a history. Ireland has been written at rather than about, and the statements of those whose interest it was to belie her have been accepted unchecked. But history, if it is to be true history, must be, like biography, sympathetic towards its subject, it must accept its subject and not deny it. There are writers on Irish history who deny that there is, in any national sense, an Ireland to write about, whose authorities are the State Paper scribes, and whose acquaintance with Irish authorities is nil. The present writer accepts the historic Irish Nation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
