The book is arranged on a year-by-year basis. Within each year, the significant events of Irish life are listed by date in chronological order... All this information is, in turn, collated in the extensive index which enables the reader quickly to discover the correct reference point for a person or event even in circumstances where he or she is uncertain of the exact year in question. In the case of particularly dramatic years in Irish history, such as 1798 or 1916, the authors give an extended date-by-date account of the unfolding events. -- Dust jacket.
