Clanricarde's planters and land agitation in east Galway, 1886–1916

Miriam Moffit

‘Compelling … a wonderful description of the struggle … a fascinating story, well told … like many of the other books in the Maynooth Studies in Local History series, the subjects have more than local significance and give insights into national issues. The themes of anglicisation and the land war have resonances far beyond the borders of east Galway … gives new insights into the history and heritage of the Clanricard lordship … can be recommended and not just to local historians. It deserves a much wider audience', Pat McCarthy, Books Ireland (February 2013).
