For centuries, the Irish have had an impact on the world far beyond what you would expect for a tiny nation on the edge of Europe. In What have the Irish ever done for us? we learn how the Irish have revolutionised global agriculture, brought water to Los Angeles, split the atom, invented the submarine and the tank, created drinking chocolate, and many more fascinating stories! This book covers a wide range of topics including how the Irish built New York, why a Cork woman was awarded Israels highest honour and how the Irish helped create the modern-day horror boom.
