Description
Secret societies stalk the second volume of Froude's Irish history, from 1872. The Whiteboys swear oaths and strike by night in the countryside. The Volunteers arm in the towns, and government loses its grip year by year.
Froude traces the long slide toward the rising of 1798. Grievance piles on grievance as reform fails again and again. His vivid style carries readers through a century of trouble. All his strong opinions stand on display, for friend and foe to judge. The volume forms the tense middle of his Irish tale, where patience runs out and violence gathers its forces.
