Excellent Book!5
This book is written by an expert in the field in Irish archeology and it should be read by anyone who wants to know the truth of pre-Christian Ireland. Harbison's descriptions of the ancient artifacts, the tombs, the gold, the jewelry, are excellent for the information he gives on early Irish life. The Irish Bronze Age is particularly interesting. Although maybe not written for a general reader it is a great book to have for accurate and informed reference. I highly recommend it.
