Set of two hardcover books in fine condition, each with fine dust jackets; neither book having been read, they are each clean, tight, square, and free of any markings; each unclipped dust jacket is also in fine condition; both books are now protected by newly applied Brodart clear covers; Volume One of the set is 828 pages in length with an index and "looks at Irish civilization from its Semitic roots in early Christianity to St. Patrick to early Irish conquests in Europe and several New Worlds, and from the 18th century penal laws to the emergence of Irish Catholics as energetic imperializers within the First and Second British Empires". Volume Two of the set is 696 pages with an index and "begins with the Great Famone and goes on to show the Irish adapting, improvising and innovating in Ireland and overseas-- in North America, Australia, New Zealand. Polynesia, and South Africa. The Book ends by demonstrating the centrality of both Catholic and Protestant Irish culture to the United States". Each of the two volumes of the sets are divided internally into two "books". The books are "about the Irish at home and abroad, the great and the small, the noble and the depraved, the wise and the foolish, the saints and the sinners, adventurers and idealists....a remarkable narrative of a people and their influence around the world." (Quoted material from dust jacket)
