Product Description
Published by Tower Books, Cork, 1984.
The book explores the connection between 19th-century Irish nationalism and global labour and Socialist movements, providing a detailed history of how the International Workingmen's Association (commonly known as the First International, active from 1864 to 1876) interacted with Irish political figures, radical organizations, and local working-class struggles.
At the center of the book is the political biography of J.P. McDonnell, an extraordinary Dublin-born Fenian who became a prominent member of the First International's General Council. He worked directly with Marx before later emigrating to the United States, where he became a major labour and trade union figure.
