A Chicago journalist went to Ireland during the War of Independence and reported what she found: the slums behind the talk of Irish prosperity, Sinn Féin and the revolution, Irish Labour and its socialist hopes, the peaceful co-operative revolution preached by AE, the Catholic Church’s stand against communism, and the question of Belfast. A letter from the American delegation of the Irish Republic prefaces the book.
Sympathetic, first-hand reporting from the revolutionary years, for anyone interested in the birth of modern Ireland. Download the free EPUB.
