Watch: Diarmaid Ferriter on The Revelation of Ireland

The Transformation of Ireland by Diarmaid Ferriter, published in 2004, was the first survey history of twentieth century Ireland in many years.

Now, 20 years later, comes the acclaimed sequel, The Revelation of Ireland, bringing us exciting new research and insights for 1995 – 2020, a deep dive into a turbulent and exciting period.
