The Norman Invasion of Ireland

Still the classic work on the subject — now in a new and enlarged edition — with "all the evidence of hard work, happily allied to a sense of style. Roche tells his story in the style of a war correspondent" — Irish Times. This is a fascinating and heavily illustrated account of the most far-reaching event that occurred in Ireland since the introduction of Christianity.
