The Fall of Parnell

Texte du rabat

When this book was originally published in 1960 no full-length study of the Parnell 'split' had been made, despite it being such a landmark in Irish history. This was the first modern work to provide a connected account of such neglected episodes as the 'Boulogne negotiations' and Parnell's final campaign in Ireland.
