Description: The following text is the introduction at the beginning of the book:

The history of Irish nationalism is a story full of pathos and passion. But for many years the American public has only heard the official British view of what has happened, and what continues to happen there to this day. This outline attempts to simplify and organize the basic events and trends in the development of Irish nationalism for those who choose to question the established views. It is not meant to be a detailed course in Irish history. However,it is meant for the beginner, and my approach has emphasized the development of a working knowledge of Irish history, rather than adherence to a rigid scholarly form. This text attempts to frame historical sequences, participating groups, individuals, and other aspects of the struggle into a picture that makes sense of the complexity that often defines Irish history and politics. 

It is hoped that the question and answer format will facilitate self-study. References for further study are included at the end of each chapter in Part I, and Part II ends with an annotated bibliography to encourage further study. The bibliography has a strong Irish republican bias, but also includes sources articulating other viewpoints.
Notes: Includes annotated bibliography and an index.
