The Bold Fenian Men

Volume Two of author Robert Kee's The Green Flag trilogy

---------
"Kee covers the events from the foundation of the Fenian Movement to the 1916 Dublin Rising. Narrating these events and intermediate events - the Land Acts, Home Rule Bills, the evictions of tenants and consequent agrarian outrages - he describes the remarkable men behind them: James Stephens, Gladstone, Parnell, Arthur Griffith, Asquith, Pearse, Carson, Connolly and Sir Roger Casement.

This important and highly readable revaluation of Irish history is the result of Robert Kee's life-long interest in the subject. He shows that 'the Irish Problem' is not one but many - not the least of which has been the failure of the English to understand this. His dedication to researching original sources - state papers, diaries and newspapers - combined with great historical insight, has resulted in an authoritative and revealing book which goes far to explain the events which make the headlines today".
