A History Of The Kingdom Of Kerry

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1896 Edition.

In the 100 years since the establishment of Dáil Éireann, rarely has politics been so divisive, turbulent, engaging and entertaining as in County Kerry. A Century of Politics in the Kingdom captures the exhilarating highs and lows of politics in Kerry, featuring tales of scandal, punch-ups, election-campaign shenanigans, bitter inter-dynastic contests, as well as the stories of the ground-breaking Kerry politicians who made their mark on the national stage and beyond. This fascinating book draws on new material from the political parties' archives, original research and candid interviews. Featured are comprehensive biographical details of every Kerry Teachta Dála and senator since the foundation of the Irish State, seminal debates and discussions, rivalries and resentments, and good old-fashioned fun and games - all of which has characterised the political cauldron in the county over the last century.

"A combination of local history & tourist guide, nicely packaged with pleasing graphics & beautiful color photos. Each town & village is described in detail, [including] local attractions, singing pubs, restaurants, festivals & castles. . . . a handsome book, beautifully designed. "-Irish Echo

The Kingdom in the Empire examines the effects the First World War had on County Kerry. Political dissent and growing unrest played alongside the global troubles. Delving deep into the heart of the First World War, this book paints an intricate picture of Kerry during this period. For farmers the war was a time of economic opportunity, for others it intensified already divided loyalties. But for all, Kerrymen the global conflict was to change their lives and homeland forever. "The Kingdom in the Empire" is an invaluable addition to the history of County Kerry.
