My American Struggle for Justice in Northern Ireland (Third US Edition, 2019). This 2019 Third US Edition considerably expands on the Second US Edition of 2014--just as the latter expanded the First US Edition of 2012. (The book was first published in Ireland in 2011 by Collins Press, Cork).This Edition brings Fr. Mc Manus' historic struggle right up to 2019. It is larger in dimension (6x9), whereas the 2014 Second Edition was smaller in dimension (5x7.5).Furthermore, this Edition adds an extra 125 (larger) pages and 41 additional photos.Continues the compelling narrative of Fr. Sean Mc Manus' long struggle for Irish justice ... How he prevailed against all odds ... How he refused to be silent in the face of injustice ... And how he "kept Congress on track regarding justice and peace in Ireland." As one reviewer has said, "It makes one want to stand up and cheer." It is a story of grace, faith, and courage; of devotion and determination, persistence and perseverance ... Always firm and resolute...But without bitterness or rancor and with a forgiving heart. As he himself says, "Fight like hell for justice, but always forgive like Heaven."For almost 50 years, Fermanagh native Fr. Mc Manus has been at the heart of the Irish-American campaign against British injustice in Northern Ireland. No one has ever done what he has done: moving to Capitol Hill to exclusively lobby for justice and peace in Ireland, and for doing that for so many years without interruption. As the Sunday World says, "Some political observers in America say he was light years ahead of his time when he set up the Irish National Caucus to fight for justice and rights for [Catholics] back home in Northern Ireland."This is his personal account of how he mainstreamed the Northern Ireland issue on Capitol Hill after Church and State exiled him from Britain in 1972 to silence him on the issue. He founded the Irish National Caucus in 1974, "the driving force that would diminish Britain's influence with the U.S. government." He forced through Congressional action to stop the sale of US weapons to the RUC and made the Mac Bride Principles on fair employment a powerful force. And all this time he was opposed not only by the London and Dublin governments but also - and ironically and inexplicably - by elements in the Irish Republican Movement. Fr. Mc Manus also chronicles the events and social context that influenced him growing up in a large patriotic family in the parish of Kinawley, County Fermanagh--a parish divided by the British-imposed Border that cruelly partitions Ireland. Fr. McManus gives thoughtful insights into Seminary life in England in the 1960s, and how his faith, theology, and philosophy of justice and nonviolence developed. He expounds clearly and faithfully Catholic Social Teaching, which Catholics scholars have called "the best-kept secret of the Catholic Church." Fr. Mc Manus--unlike many Catholic Bishops in the US, Britain, and Ireland--fearlessly applies that teaching to Ireland, as he speaks truth to power and as he exposes how the powerful in Church and State covered up injustice and oppression in his native country. As a reviewer says, the Memoir's "authenticity is the book's crowning glory."The book also describes Fr. McManus' increasing work since 2013 as Chief Judge of the World Peace Prize, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and his solidarity work with the AFL-CIO--because, as he likes to quote, "peace is the fruit of solidarity." (St. Pope John Paul II).

This updated Edition (2014) expands on the Irish edition (2011), the American Edition (2012) and brings the story totally current. It continues the compelling narrative of Fr. Mc Manus' long struggle for justice in Ireland.The book reveals how Fr. Mc Manus prevailed against all odds ... How he refused to be silent in the face of injustice ... And how he “kept Congress on track regarding justice and peace in Ireland.” As one reviewer has said, “It makes one want to stand up and cheer.” It is a story of grace and courage, devotion and determination, persistence and perseverance – without bitterness or rancor. For over forty years, Fermanagh native Fr. Sean McManus has been at the heart of the Irish- American campaign against injustice in Northern Ireland. This is his personal account of how he mainstreamed Northern Ireland on Capitol Hill after Church and State exiled him from Britain in 1972 to silence him on the issue.

He gives thoughtful insights into seminary life in the 1960s, and how his faith, theology and philosophy of non-violence developed. This book is essential reading for all who want to know about how the U. S. Congress acted -- or failed to act -- regarding justice in Northern Ireland. It could not have been written by anyone else, because no one has done with Congress what Fr. Mc Manus has done, so consistently and for so long. It is has been described as the most important significant memoir in the historiography of Irish -American nationalism since Recollection of an Irish Rebel ( 1929) by the intrepid John Devoy.

This Holy Land Edition expands on the Irish edition( 2011) , the American Edition ( 2012) and brings the story totally current. It continues the compelling narrative of Fr.

These Principles were based on the Mac Bride Principles, which Fr. Mc Manus also launched in 1984, and which are now universally regarded as the most effective campaign ever against anti-Catholic discrimination in Northern Ireland.Fr. Mc Manus is hoping that the Holy Land Principles will persuade American companies to adhere to fair employment in the Holy Land. If Catholics in Northern Ireland deserve these Principles, who is going to claim Palestinian Muslims and Christians do not?He said: “American principles must follow American investment – everywhere. No exceptions! Irrespective of how Americans view the problem there, one thing is surely right: American investment dollars should not subsidize anti-Palestinian discrimination in The Holy Land. And, therefore, I am confident that Americans will want all the 573 companies doing business there to sign the Holy Land Principles.”Like the Mac Bride Principles, the Holy Land Principles do not call for disinvestment, divestment or reverse discrimination. And , like the Mac Bride Principles, the Holy Land Principles have the potential for great good.

The authentic Irish hero returns in Book 2 -- as heroic as ever. Patrick Mac Ireland is a rebel WITH a cause: Ireland's right to be one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Book One -- the first in the series -- explained how Mac Ireland as a young idealistic Irish patriot set out in the 1970s to drive England out of Ireland but quickly realized he had to first drive British Agents out of the IRA. Book 2 -- the second in the series -- picks up where Book One ended in 1980. Mac Ireland continues to hunt down British Agents inside the IRA with the help of a Northern Ireland Protestant detective, whose family members were killed by British Agents, and a Southern Irish detective, who is outraged by how the Irish Government not only turned its back on Catholics in The North, but also how the Irish Government colluded with the British Government. This is a riveting story of Irish heroism but also of shocking Irish betrayal: how top Dublin politicians sold their souls for English gold and how top IRA men betrayed The Cause. Mac Ireland, without fear or favor, takes them all on, and their British handlers, administering the only type of justice available. As in Book One, Mac Ireland is shown to be not only a man of heroism but also a man of learning. When not battling the British Army and hunting down Irish traitors, he expounds on England's imperialism, Catholicism, Zionism and Palestine-the other Holy Land divided by England. All with a sense of history and a desire for Irish freedom will love this gripping novel... Mac Ireland will continue to be one of their favorite Irish heroes.

In this important work of deep learning and insight, David Brundage gives us the first full-scale history of Irish nationalists in the United States. Beginning with the brief exile of Theobald Wolfe Tone, founder of Irish republican nationalism, in Philadelphia on the eve of the bloody 1798 Irish rebellion, and concluding with the role of Bill Clinton's White House in the historic 1998 Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland, Brundage tells a story of more than two hundred years of Irish American (and American) activism in the cause of Ireland. The book, though, is far more than a narrative history of the movement. Brundage effectively weaves into his account a number of the analytical themes and perspectives that have transformed the study of nationalism over the last two decades. The most important of these perspectives is the "imagined" or "invented" character of nationalism. A second theme is the relationship of nationalism to the waves of global migration from the early nineteenth century to the present and, more precisely, the relationship of nationalist politics to the phenomenon of political exile. Finally, the work is concerned with Irish American nationalists' larger social and political vision, which sometimes expanded to embrace causes such as the abolition of slavery, women's rights, or freedom for British colonial subjects in India and Africa, and at other times narrowed, avoiding or rejecting such "extraneous" concerns and connections. All of these themes are placed within a thoroughly transnational framework that is one of the book's most important contributions. Irish nationalism in America emerges from these pages as a movement of great resonance and power. This is a work that will transform our understanding of the experience of one of America's largest immigrant groups and of the phenomenon of diasporic or "long-distance" nationalism more generally.
