William E. Watson and Eugene J. Halus, Jr., Editors

A broad collection of Irish-American achievement, this volume is divided into four categories: Irish-American emigration; political and economic life; cultural and religious life; and literature, the arts, and popular culture. It strives to balance historical and contemporary figures. Many Boston Irish names are included: President John F. Kennedy, Ray Flynn, Conan O’Brien, Irish Micky Ward, Christa McAuliffe – while others are oddly missing: Senator Edward M. Kennedy, athlete James B. Connolly and writer George V. Higgins.
