Born on a North Cork farm into a family of Fenians, Sheehan became a Nationalist member of Parliament and watched Irish politics from within. He tells how Parnell rose, was dethroned and died, then follows the split parties, the land struggle, schemes of devolution and Home Rule, and the forces that reshaped Ireland before independence.
