Download Bitter Freedom: Ireland in a Revolutionary World AudioBook Free

The Irish Trend is definitely mythologized in American culture but seldom understood. For too long the storyplot of Irish independence and its own aftermath has been told only within an Anglo-Irish context. Now, in the critically acclaimed Bitter Freedom, journalist Maurice Walsh, with "a novelist's eyes for the illuminating information of each day lives in extremis" (Potential customer), places groundbreaking Ireland in the panorama of the global disorder blessed of the awful slaughter of World Warfare I and a kaleidoscopic portrait of the human being face of the issue. In such a "invigorating bank account" (Spectator), Walsh shows how this countrywide trend, which captured worldwide attention from India to Argentina, was itself molded by international situations, political, economic, and cultural. In the period of Russian Bolshevism and American jazz, developments in European countries and America had a profound influence on Ireland. Bitter Freedom is "the most stunning and dramatic bank account of the epoch to time frame" (Literary Review).
