The above mentioned book was published recently. It is subtitled How Ireland Europes most conservative country became its most liberal.

I dipped into this a few weeks back in Easons and it seems to be aimed at a fairly popular readership and non Irish readers. It's a topic we have discussed here a few times. Has anyone read this book ?

The title filled me with horror, so naturally I couldn't resist having a look on Amazon. You can read the one page intro and the first few pages. Basically, it's Evil Catholic-dominated Ireland, backward beyond belief, somehow transforming into Liberal Paradise. One reviewer says it focuses solely on the Church and nothing else.

It's such a small world. Of course no on in the real media ever joins the dots....
