Power sets out to reconstruct in detail the economic, social, and political history of Tipperary, Ireland's largest inland county. The examines the growing commercialization of the local economy, the changing composition of landed society, the dynamics of land tenure, sectarian tension, and the emergence of long-term rural unrest.
