Description

Terry Golway (au). The story of Irish nationalism, from the legendary king Brian Boru, who united the chieftains of Ireland to drive out the Vikings, to the unresolved conflict in N. Ireland. Tells a thousand years of Irish history, describing the achievements of the patriots who kept alive the dream of Irish freedom until they finally succeeded. This struggle was not a strictly religious dispute; in fact, many of the greatest heroes of the movement were Protestants, some of them descended only a few generations from English settlers. The U.S. played a role in this drama, especially after the heavy Irish immigration in the mid-1800s. A vivid narrative sure to fascinate anyone interested in Irish history. Photos.
