	Amazon.ca: A Short History of Ireland: Books: John O'Beirne Ranelagh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		This is an updated edition of John O'Beirne Ranelagh's short history of Ireland, covering the full sweep of Irish history from the earliest times up to President Clinton's second visit to Ireland in 1998, in the wake of the Omagh bomb and the surrounding peace initiatives.
		Ireland was a colony of England and as such was burdened with restrictive trade practices forced on it by England.
		One comes away feeling a bit as though more recent history (say, 1916 and on) has been slighted, but this feeling is probably just the product of years of weighted emphasis on the twentieth century; Ranelagh does well to bring a historical balance to the overall sweep of Ireland's development into what it is today.
