Land Is All That Matters

The Struggle that Shaped Irish History

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

This in-depth study reviews the history of Ireland over three centuries through one of its most bitterly contested issues: land ownership. It chronicles the dispossession of Irish landholders under British rule, from the Ulster Plantation in the early 1600s to the Famine of the 1840s, acts of resistance such as the Tithe War of the 1830s and Land Wars of 1878–1909, and the redistributive measures of the Irish Free State.
