Irish rebel

John Devoy and America's fight for Ireland's freedom

1st ed.
  • 1 Want to read

In 1871, John Devoy, a young Irishman fighting for Irish independence, came to the United States in exile. Yet even while across the ocean, this Fenian greatly influenced Irish affairs. Terry Golway's suspenseful and assiduously researched biography of Devoy chronicles a lifetime of activism, in which he garnered tremendous financial and moral support within the United States for the cause in Ireland. Devoy was instrumental in both the Easter Rising of 1916 and the creation of the Irish Free State.

Book Details


Table of Contents

A land beyond the waves
A most distressful country
A great hunger
Bold Fenian men
On the cause must go
Bound for western Australia
Fetters rent in twain
For Erin's sake
Hark, a voice like thunder
Pay them back, woe for woe
The ould triangle
Darkest just before dawn
Impatient for the coming fight
A flag of war
Yonder waits the Saxon foe
Passions vain and lowly
A nation once again
A soldier's song
