Recenzje

'The level of detail presented on the various currents of Irish nationalism in Britain makes for a fascinating read. Gannon has done the Irish in Britain a great service in identifying the very full contribution of those Irish nationalists living in Britain who played a significant part in the fight for Irish freedom during the revolutionary period. He brilliantly brings alive the battle for the hearts and minds of those Irish living in Britain from pro-Union and pro-Irish independence sides but also different sides within the Independence movement.' Kevin Rooney, Irish Border Poll
