Timothy Egan, author of the book The Immortal Irishman, led a fascinating life. As a young man, he joined with other rebels in Ireland and formed the Irish Republican Brotherhood (also known as the Fenians), which attempted to revive the cause of Irish freedom. In 1848, he emigrated to America, where he had what can only be described as an iconic career as a journalist and historian. He wrote for newspapers and magazines, taught history at Columbia University, became a member of the New York City Police Board and wrote biographies of various American historical figures such as George Washington and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Perhaps his most famous work is his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of John F. Kennedy

Timothy Egan's eloquent and evocative narrative traces the Irish revolutionary-turned-American hero The Immortal Irishman, Timothy Patrick "Pat" Cleary. Cleary is a self-proclaimed terrorist who actually saved hundreds of American lives during the War of 1812.

It's a story of a young Irishman whose family immigrated to America to escape the potato famine in the 1800s. He becomes an organizer and revolutionary who fought for Irish independence and then became a key figure in fighting racism, especially in the American south. Many of his ideas came to America through George Washington Plunkitt, an Irish immigrant who wrote "The American Dream" as the tagline for his own newspaper. As part of his efforts, he founded what would become the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

When the Irish revolutionary Michael Collins died in 1922, he had achieved what few other men have: death as an American hero. The Irish had been fighting for freedom from British rule since before the nation's founding and had tried everything, including terrorism and murder, to achieve their goal. But Collins was small potatoes compared to the man who succeeded him as leader of the Irish Republican Army, Jack Tierney.
