    About this ebook

    For almost forty years, Fr Sean McManus has been at the heart of the Irish American campaign to pressurise the British government regarding injustice in Northern Ireland. This is a deeply personal account of how his lone voice mainstreamed Northern Ireland on Capitol Hill, after the Catholic Church removed him from Britain. He became ‘Britain’s nemesis in America’, founding the Irish National Caucus in 1974. Also chronicles the events and social context that influenced him, growing up in a parish divided by the Border.

    Fr Sean McManus

    Fr Sean McManus, born in Kinawley, County Fermanagh, is a brother of Frank McManus, former MP, and Patrick McManus, an IRA member killed in an explosion in 1958. In 1971, McManus, a Redemptorist priest then based in Scotland, was arrested in Northern Ireland during an anti-internment demonstration. His superiors sent him to the United States in 1972 where he founded the Irish National Caucus in 1974, a Washington D.C.-based Irish-American lobby group.
