From the Publisher
On thousand years ago, during the Viking Age, an extraordinary young man was
born in Ireland. His people, plagued by warfare, were weary not only from the
Vikings brutal raids along the coast, but also from the continuous warring
among local chieftains. The Irish had become a drowntrodden race.

But a real-life hero changed the destiny of Ireland. This is the story of
Brian Boru, who as a young man took it upon himself to revolutionize
tenth-century Ireland, striving to create a peaceful land where his fellow
Irish men and women cold be safe from harm. And succeed he did. Brian, crowned
High King, restored peace and fostered prosperity in the country that was his
homeand his heart. Brian Boru: Emperor of the Irish is a beautiful and
compelling true story of Irish history.
