This classic work chronicles eight centuries of the Irish struggle for freedom, beginning with the arrival of English settlers in the Middle Ages and extending to contemporary issues. The author presents this narrative as 'An Outline History of the Irish struggle for National Freedom and Independence,' yet it transcends that title. It uniquely intertwines economic factors with political developments, offering a comprehensive perspective that few historians have achieved. The book effectively captures the conquest and England's early imperial ambitions from the 12th Century to the partition of Ireland in the early 1920s. Additionally, C. Desmond Greaves contributes a concluding chapter that addresses events from that period to the civil rights movement of the late 1960s and the onset of current troubles in Northern Ireland. This history is not only engagingly written but also serves as a guide to understanding imperialism and is an invaluable resource for students of politics, regardless of their viewpoints. T. A. Jackson, born in London in 1879, was a radical socialist and a prolific writer for the left-wing press, authoring several notable works, including Dialectics: The Logic of Marxism and Trials of British Freedom. The book is edited and includes an epilogue by C. Desmond Greaves.
