“This book tells the history of eight hundred years of the Irish people’s struggle for national freedom, from the first subjugation by England up to the present day – in the immortal phrase of James Fintan Lalor, the struggle to make “Ireland her own, and all therein, form the sod to the sky”
Irish historians have written of this long struggle with pride and emotion.  But none has produced anything more effective, or which portrays with such clarity all facets of Irish social, economic and political history, than this work by an Englishman whose only bias – sympathy would more accurately describe it – is for the common people, both Irish and English.  As Karl Marx observed, the English people could never be free so long as Ireland was enslaved.”
