An acknowledged classic, this work is a well-researched and entertaining history of the Irish in the United States. The author's goal in writing the book was to explore those areas in which the Irish have made a significant contribution to American culture, including politics, religion, literature, drama, and such specialized activities as prizefighting and law enforcement. The text is highlighted by twenty-one photographs.
