Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from My Political Trial and Experience: Including a Biographical Sketch of the Author Patriotism and persecution are words often found in each other´s company. Indeed anybody who reads history aright must be struck by the frequent association. Wherever man has sought to realize his patriotic desires, wherever he has dared oppression and slavery, there has persecution threatened if not encompassed him. The records of every nation are rich in example. In the purple dawn of our own Republic the youthful form of Nathan Hale is silhouetted in immortal glory above the ignominy of the British gallows. And but yesterday, so to speak, a world paused in the mad orgy of war at the spectacle of the heroic Pearse and his associates facing the vengeance of the British Empire that their beloved Erin might not lose her soul. Happily, persecution unto death is rarely the penalty of the patriot in this Republic of ours. But from time to time, and at the present moment, there are lapses from national ideals amounting almost to tragic retrogression. A notable instance affecting the individual has been the arrest, indictment, and prolonged imprisonment of the author of this book, Mr. Jeremiah A. O´Leary, an American of militant and unsullied patriotism. In setting forth this record of his splendid and successful fight and of the sinister forces that beset the liberties of his country, he has rendered a valued service to patriotism the world over. The publication of this book will serve among other useful purposes to emphasize Mr. O´Leary´s vindication by the Court and in the words of Edmund Burke, it will help "to protect the author against the calumnies of malice and the judgment of ignorance." The book will be read and read widely, for all over the United States Jeremiah A. O´Leary has countless admirers and friends - more than many imagine.
