Grattan's Failure: Parliamentary Opposition and the People in Ireland, 1779-1800
A cursory look at Irish history from the tribes of the early first millenium up through the Troubles to the year 2000. Having known very little about Irish history, this was a good overview but I have to stress that it is very, very broad. With such a large span of time to cover in just over 300 pages, you're bound to miss out on a lot of important details. The fact that the portion of the book dedicated to the Irish Civil War pot-independence was only given about 8 pages, however, seemed a bit lacking.
If you've read Wikipedia articles on Irish history, then find a book that delves deeper into specific aspects of Irish history in which you're interested.
