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.

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.

This book examines the role of the United States of America in the Northern Ireland conflict and peace process. It begins by looking at how US figures engaged with Northern Ireland, as well as the wider issue of Irish partition, in the years before the outbreak of what became known as the 'Troubles'. From there, it considers early interventions on the part of Congressional figures such as Senator Edward Kennedy and the Congressional hearings on Northern Ireland that took place in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday, 1972. The author then analyses the causes and consequences of the State Department decision to ban the sale of weapons to the Royal Ulster Constabulary, before considering the development of the US role in Northern Ireland through the Reagan administration and the onset of US financial support for conflict resolution in the form of the International Fund for Ireland. The study concludes by assessing the dynamics behind the role that President Clinton assumed following his election in 1992 and examining how Presidents Bush and Obama attempted to capitalize on the momentum of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

This is a time when the rule of law is seriously challenged, when governments threaten deliberately to break the law, and the independence of justice is jeopardised by unrelenting pressure from both the executive and the media. This book aims at contributing to restoring trust in judges as custodians of the law and justice, through a comparison between Civil and Common Law countries. It offers a rare opportunity to gather the expertise of eminent judges and legal authorities from five different countries, providing a unique insight into their work and the way they deliver justice based on their respective professional experience and practise of the law. Far from being a highly technical debate between experts, however, the book is accessible to students and the general public, and raises important contemporary legal issues that involve them both as citizens, with justice as a shared aspiration, and a common attachment to the rule of law.
