Review:
"The best book ever published on ethnic units in the American Civil War."
-"Journal of Southern History",
"Anyone serious about their Irish-American history will have to get The Harp and the Eagle"
-"Irish Echo",
"Professor Susannah Ural Bruce's remarkable - and highly readable - study explores the complex political and historical motives that sent 150,000 Irish Catholic soldiers into the ranks of the Union Army during the Civil War. For the majority of Irish soldiers the cause of the union was inextricably linked to the cause of Irish independence and Bruce's wide ranging study paints a complex and evocative picture of the network of alliances and experiences that animated Irish participation in the war effort. Recommended."
-"Irish Voice",
"With remarkable sensitivity and acuity Bruce goes digging among the personal and public accounts of the Irish soldiers in the Union army and presents these soldiers, and their families and communities, on their own terms so that they emerge as real people conflicted and changed by the demands of war and the obligations of 'community.' The result is a book of immediate interest."
-Randall M. Miller, author of "Union Soldiers and the Northern Home Front: Wartime Experiences, Postwar Adjustments "
"Bruce's research is deep and thorough, and it is presented effectively. She has made a major contribution to understanding the sentiments of Irish America at a critical time."

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. [From the library of William E. Connolly.] Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. 266 p., 22 cm. "In seeking to justify and explain human behavior, it assumes that we approach all our action and choices with an awareness of the various physical, economic and logical restraints upon us, with an appreciation of what outcomes will result from particular courses of action, and with an ability to rank the possible outcome in order of desirability." William E. Connolly is Krieger-Eisenhower Professor in the political science department at Hopkins where he teaches political theory. His early book, The Terms of Political Discourse, was awarded the Benjamin Lippincott Award in 1999 as 'a work of exceptional quality that is still considered significant at least 15 years after publication.' In a poll of American political theorists published in PS in 2010, he was ranked the fourth most influential political theorist in America over the last twenty years, after Rawls, Habermas, and Foucault. His work focuses on the issues of democratic pluralism, capitalism, inequality, fascism, and bumpy intersections between capitalism and planetary amplifiers in climate change.
