Swords Around the Cross The Nine Years War Ireland's Defense of Faith and Fatherland, 1594-1603

One of the only full-length treatments of the heroic struggle of the Irish clansmen in their effort to defend their faith and country against English encroachment and conquest in the 16th century.

In so doing, the image of a "golden age" under Elizabeth I is dealt a serious blow.O'Donnell, Timothy T. is the author of 'Swords Around the Cross The Nine Years War Ireland's Defense of Faith and Fatherland, 1594-1603', published 2001 under ISBN 9780931888786 and ISBN 0931888786.
