People don't seem to know about Redemption, the sequel to Trinity. It, too, did a great job of telling the story of Ireland. I read all of the Holocaust books Uris wrote, and really liked them. I did care as much for Mitla Pass and The Haj, so I didn't read any others of his more recent novels about the Middle East.
I learned a lot more history from Uris and Michener than I did from textbooks.
