The study explores the tumultuous relationship between Irish Catholics and Protestants during the 17th century, highlighting a narrative dominated by conflict and dispossession. Key historical events, such as the Ulster plantation and Cromwell's conquest, illustrate the violent consolidation of power and the emergence of a colonial ruling class. Lenihan examines the broader implications of these struggles on cultural, religious, and social dynamics, ultimately revealing how the failures to forge a unified Irish identity have shaped contemporary divisions and historical narratives. Essential for understanding Ireland's complex past.
