I would agree there. just read the traditional Irish/Celtic mythology for
the historical aspects, some biographys of major figures from the IRA,
like Michael Collins and Eamon DeValera, for the politics and a good
travel guide for the culture. Otherwise, the Tir na NoG was pretty
useless. The Ways and Paths are nice, but not earth-shattering and the
future history was okay, but has some unbelievable parts (like the IRA
magic use).
