Irish missionary work in Barbarian Europe


Every time I read about the High Middle Age the Irish monks appear. But I never had valour to face deeply this astounding missionary effort. What do we know about it? What's the cause and who were the main characters?

Thomas Cahill's book How the Irish Saved Civilization is a good book to read on this subject.
