Synopsis
(Belfast-born author and journalist Jack Holland believes that the troubles in Northern Ireland of the last thirty years cannot be truly understood without taking into account the influence of Irish America. Beginning in nineteenth century America with the Fenian Brotherhood, an American connection has continued right up to the Good Friday Agreement)

Review
...the best available overview of U.S. involvement in Northern Ireland. (Guardian, (London))
The American Connection is rich with information, insights, and the informed judgements that we have come to expect of Jack Holland. (San Jose Mercury News)
Compulsory reading for those who wish to understand the place and the influence of Irish-American nationalism on Anglo-Irish affairs...lucid, well-written, thought-provoking. (The Boston Globe)
A fascinating work; highly recommended. (Library Journal)
Jack Holland...has traced U.S. support for the dissident nationalists in the Six Counties with passion, skill, and insight. (Irish Edition)
The prose and insights of The American Connection are superb and shed light on the dark corners of a sad drama that is so little under. (Providence Journal)
For an overdraft of green-beer sentiment, The American Connection is a lively chaser, bubbling with cold reality. (The New York Times)
