Publisher's Synopsis
"O'Donovan Rossa: An Irish Revolutionary in America" presents the human face of one of Ireland's greatest freedom fighters. The indomitable spirit of this Fenian leader, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, is evoked by Patrick Pearse's prophetic words over his grave in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, 1915: "While Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at rest." Sean O Luing's fascinating account of O'Donovan Rossa's unrelenting commitment to the Irish cause, translated from Irish by Dr. Patrick McWilliams, is an essential chapter of Irish republican history."
