"The Irish people have suffered mercilessly at the hands of conquerors over the past thousand or so years.... The Normans tried with only limited success to conquer the Irish in 1167, a hundred years after their takeover of England.... Irish resistance to British rule provoked a lengthy war between the clans of the Irish chieftains and the English soldiers.... They confiscated the lands once more and instituted such harsh and outrageous controls that it ultimately resulted in the great Irish emigration to the United States. Jack Bray tells this thrilling story from an immense wealth of knowledge and such a writer's eye for detail that no one even remotely interested in the period will want to miss it. " From the Foreword by Winston Groom, Best-selling author of The Generals: Patton, MacArthur, Marshall And The Winning Of World War II; Vicksburg, 1863; Shiloh, 1862; and Forrest Gump "The Irish are a story-telling people and Jack Bray is one of them. And what a story he has written: the centuries of tragedy ending in the building of a great country across the sea, America. Deeply researched and deeply felt, 'The Tudor Wolfpack And The Roots Of Irish America' has a brave and musical heart." -Richard Reeves, Best-selling author of President Kennedy: Profile Of Power; President Nixon: Alone In The White House; American Journey: Travelling With Tocqueville; Senior Lecturer, Annenberg School For Communication at the University of Southern California
