"Don Pearce" <donald@pearce.uk.com> wrote in message news:427f84e5.6475484@news.plus.net... > Probably because the foreign Irish aren't as well versed in history. I sometimes think that people who buy books are as gullible as those who buy hi-fi. People have a stunning capacity for believing nonsense. For what it's worth ,my advice to anyone interested in learning about Irish history is: 1) Search out books on Irish history written by Irish historians working at Irish universities. That's the best way I can think of to ensure that the books are based on factual Irish history. 2) Ignore any specific recommendations for books. There's just too much political propagandaout there, exploited by pot-boiler authors whose aim is to make money rather than enlighten. And the more sensational the author's claims, the more money made. Tim
