"Tom Clarke was the architect of Ireland's 1916 Easter Rising. This old Fenian was
surrounded by a younger generation of republicans whom he galvanized towards one of
the most important events in Irish history. However, relatively little is known of
this apparently quiet and unassuming man. In this book, Tom Clarke is brought to life
through the letters he wrote to family and friends over a 17-year period. A complete
context for the correspondence is presented, with a biography containing new information
on Clarke's early days, particularly the years he spent in English prisons. The book
includes previously unknown and intimate details about Clarke's life, examining his
relationship with his wife and children, his work, his political activism, his time
spent in America, and his decision to return to Ireland. His political correspondence
begins in 1899 and terminates with a short note written hours before his execution
on May 3, 1916. These letters will enable the reader to view Tom Clarke as he truly
was, in his own words."--www.amazon.com
