A stirring anthology of 50 speeches - eulogies and damnations, new beginnings and last words, threats of war and demands for peace - that have shaped Irish history. 'The fools, the fools, the fools! They have left us with our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace.' Patrick Pearse. 'That Ireland which we dreamed of… a land whose countryside would be bright with cosy homesteads… It would be the home of a people living the life that God desires that man should live.' Éamon de Valera. 'No man has the right to fix the boundary to the march of a nation. No man has a right to say to his country: Thus far shalt thou go, and no further.' Charles Stewart Parnell. 'Northern Ireland has come to a time of peace, a time when hate will no longer rule. How good it will be to be part of a wonderful healing in our province. Today we have begun to plant and we await the harvest.' Ian Paisley.
