Review of 'Modern Ireland' on 'Goodreads'

1 estrella

I stopped reading this book on chapter 3.

The style is callous and the author is prone to blame the Irish people of things like the Great Hunger or the lack of industry while openly condoning the British government.

This is written from a colonialist mindset and like the VSI to capitalism it has an obvious Tory bias so I assume that’s the editorial line of the VSI collection.
