The Last Conquest Of Ireland: Perhaps (1876)

The Last Conquest of Ireland: Perhaps is a historical book written by John Mitchel and published in 1876. The book is a detailed account of the Irish struggle for independence from British rule. Mitchel, an Irish nationalist and journalist, provides a critical analysis of the British government's policies towards Ireland, including the Great Famine, the land question, and the suppression of the Fenian movement. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the history of Ireland from the Norman invasion in the 12th century to the 19th century. Mitchel argues that the English conquest of Ireland was not complete until the 19th century, when the British government implemented policies that destroyed Irish culture and economy. The second part of the book focuses on the Fenian movement, a group of Irish nationalists who sought to overthrow British rule in Ireland. Mitchel was a member of the Fenian movement and was imprisoned for his involvement. He provides a firsthand account of the movement's goals, strategies, and challenges. Overall, The Last Conquest of Ireland: Perhaps is a powerful and insightful book that sheds light on the complex history of Ireland's struggle for independence. It remains a relevant and important work for anyone interested in Irish history and politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
