Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Wolfe Tone: Written by Himself and Completed by His Son Among the men who have worked and suffered to establish an independent Irish nation, Theobald Wolfe Tone stands foremost. To a people hopelessly divided he brought national union; for an oppressed and plundered country he sought and obtained foreign aid, and, at the end, the work of his life was spoiled by one. of those strange chances upon which the destinies of peoples sometimes depend. How near he was to success has rarely been recognised. The fragments of autobiography condensed in this I look deal largely with his work for the creation of a union among Irishmen, the foundation upon which he hoped to build the free Ireland of his dreams. To this task he brought talents of a high order. He was shrewd, capable, and far-seeing. He was no visionary, but a man who dealt with realities. Statesmen are rare in every country, and Ireland is no exception. Among the few that she has produced, Wolfe Tone stands in the front rank.
