About this listen

This volume delves into Ireland's forgotten history bringing to light some of the most colorful characters and intriguing episodes of the country's long history.

Ireland is approximately the size of the state of Indiana, yet this small country boasts an extensive, rich, and fascinating history. Ireland's Forgotten Past is an alternative history that covers 13,000 years in 36 stories that are often left out of history books. Among the characters in these absorbing accounts are a pair of ill-fated prehistoric chieftains, a psychopathic Viking, a gallant Norman knight, a dazzling English traitor, an ingenious tailor, an outstanding war-horse, a brothel queen, an insanely prolific sculptor, and a randy prince.

This volume offers a succinct account of the Stone Age and Bronze Age, as well as insights into the Bell-Beakers, the Romans, and the Knights Templar. Historian Turtle Bunbury writes a gently off-beat take on monumental events like the Wars of the Roses, the Tudor Conquest and the Battle of the Boyne, as well as the Home Rule campaign and the Great War. Ireland's Forgotten Past adds color to the existing histories of the country by focusing on the unique characters and intriguing events. This volume will delight anyone interested in the rich untold history of Ireland.

It is a little slow to get in to if you are not interested in pre-written record of history, and it can be hard to keep track of names, but it is a very enjoyable listen! I learned a lot more about a country that my family comes from that I had never heard about before.

Enjoyable listen!

Loved this book.
I try to learn a little bit of history about places I'd like to visit. This book gave me a lot of food for thought, along with places to go and more about the proud people who lived there.
