""The constitutional nationalist tradition represented by Butt, Parnell and Redmond – and also by Daniel O’Connell – is usually portrayed in the history books as antithetical to the physical force tradition of Irish nationalism. This volume suggests, however, that the two traditions were inextricably intertwined. Irish nationalism was not strictly binary."" Felix M. Larkin, The Irish Catholic.
