I picked this book up as part of some research I’m doing. It was very informative, but I could definitely sense the authors bias in favor of Ireland and more specifically Irish Catholics. Not a bad thing, but I just have to take it all with a grain of salt because of that.

Went from 'meh' to 'why am I reading this?' with the turn of a page.

3 stars for the book which, though informative, wastes a lot of pages on trivial stuff.
+1 because it's about "Danny Boy".
