Synopsis

This book explores the tension between the Saxon and Celt as it pertains to the question of Irish governance, an issue the author deems unsolvable due to past and present British interference and misrule. The author argues that modern British governance has worsened the situation and will ultimately lead to the decline and fall of the British Empire, a sentiment shared by Ireland's leaders and their supporters. The author details the history of British rule in Ireland, highlighting critical turning points such as the Protestant Reformation and the French Revolution, which have exponentially increased the tension between Ireland and Britain. The author further adds that the British, as a people, are unfit to rule Ireland, arguing that Saxons are incapable of progress and prone to hedonism, violence, and cruelty. Given the complexity of the Irish problem and the unique historical and cultural context from which it arose, the author concludes that this book provides essential insights for understanding its depth and nuances.
