"Irish revolutionary nationalism, initially dedicated to insurgency, quickly descended
into less conventional violence. How successive British governments responded to this
challenge and the extent of their respect for essential freedoms are the subject of
The Fenian Problem." "Dramatic and tragic rescues of arrested Fenian leaders, the
formation of a Fenian squad to engage in assassinations of suspected informers and
policemen, the bombing of a London prison that brought death and destruction to a
neighbouring street, public executions of several Fenians, the quality of British
justice, and the struggle to develop counter-terrorism policies and an effective system
of intelligence form the core of The Fenian Problem. Brian Jenkins adds new information
to the established narrative of the movement, arguing that it resorted to terrorism
in its pursuit of Irish independence."--BOOK JACKET
