The Story of Ireland—Told Through the People Who Lived It
From ancient warriors and legendary saints to poets, rebels, scientists, spies, and sporting heroes, 101 People Who Made the Republic of Ireland brings the nation's rich and turbulent history to life through the remarkable individuals who shaped it.
Spanning thousands of years, this engaging and accessible book introduces readers to visionaries and revolutionaries — from Saint Brigid and Brian Boru to James Joyce, Michael Collins, Veronica Guerin, and many more. Some changed the course of politics, others inspired through art or science. All left a lasting legacy.
Whether they were born in the country or made it their home, each person in this book played a part in building the Irish Republic—through war, creativity, resistance, reform, and vision.
Part of the acclaimed 101 People series, this is history told through human stories — bold, brilliant, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.
