Media Reviews
Tear down the lace curtain, dump the fruit and wake up, Joey. It's timeto be something besides tired. This book is history over amnesia. -- Frank McCourt, Los Angeles Times Cover Review Few Americans, and in fact few observers of any nationality, have written about that tormented province [Northern Ireland] with such sympathy and clarity, and it's a relief to encounter someone taking the American political and journalistic establishment to task for its pro-British bias... a work of the poetic imagination, lovely, imagistic prose -- Andrew O'Hehir, New York Times Tom Hayden's Irish on the Inside is the stuff of great awakenings - not merely for Irish-Americans but for the descendants of every immigrant who ever embraced the revolutionary ideals of justice and solidarity that are both Irish and American. -- John Nichols, Capital Times Reveals Tom Hayden as a dreamer and a rebel. Could any Irish person ask for a greater honour? -- Martin O Muilleoir, Editor, Andersontown News Stirs our complacency and forces us to rethink what being Irish is all about. -- Patricia Harty, Editor, Irish America Every Irish American (and everyone in Ireland, too) should read Tom Hayden's brilliant and passionate book... startlingly refreshing. -- Kerby Miller, University of Missouri If you only read one book about Irish America, this should be it. -- Niall O'Dowd, Irish Independent
