About The Book
Belfast-born author and journalist Jack Holland believes that the troubles in Northern Ireland of the last thirty years cannot be truly understood without taking into account the influence of Irish America. Beginning in nineteenth century America with the Fenian Brotherhood, an American connection has continued right up to the Good Friday Agreement.
