First edition. xiv, 372pp. Quarter bound in deep green cloth over green cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Volume as new throughout. In its original dust jacket, very slightly bumped on edges. The previously untold story of a band of fiercely patriotic Irish Americans and their chapter in Ireland's centuries long fight for independence. Shortly after the American Civil War, they undertook one of the most fantastical missions in military history - to seize the British province of Canada through a series of attacks known as Fenian Raids, and to hold it hostage until the independence of Ireland was secured.
