Recenzje

Richard English's cool, elegant prose and subtle argumentation raise this book above sectarian politics and provide academics, students, and the general reader with a fascinating insight into Irish republican thought and practice between the Easter Rising and the 1950s ... It is a biography which is pleasing to read, and will inevitably provoke students into taking more seriously the thought of Irish republicanism.
