I am of Ireland - An American's Journey of Discovery in a Troubled Land (Paperback)

Introduction by Tim Pat Coogan Removed from his ethnic and cultural origins by three generations, yet emotionally attached to the idea of them still, Richard Brown journeyed to Ireland in an effort to connect with the country and its people. He mingled with skeptical middle-class Dubliners and lived with the embattled Catholic poor in Ulster, sharing the desperation and at times the danger, and ultimately finding a more impassioned experience of life than his American existence afforded.
