Compelling.

"the Black O'Connell" and a fascinating account of the interplay of
events in the US and Ireland at that time.

In Fenton's scholarly but immensely readable new book Douglass's
travels in Ireland are reproduced with a novelistic eye for the
telling detail.

Well-written and researched.
