Petey's Opinion

This is an excellent jump start novel into Irish history. It has mini bios on several interesting people ranging from women who were originally from Ireland who emigrated to the USA and did some amazing work getting miners unionized and fighting corporate fat cats to authors to true warriors who fought for Ireland's freedom. This book is for people who are interested in the history of Ireland and would like to find out why you never fight an Irishman in his own house.
