Excerpt from Ireland in Insurrection: An Englishman's Record of Fact Have known Hugh Martin as a journalist for many years, and I believe him to be a patriotic Englishman and-an honest man. When there fore I read his reports day by day on the happen ings in Ireland I was convinced that they were accounts of the truth, trustworthy as far as it is possible for anyone to obtain the exact detail of truth in such conditions as those in Ireland - where the search for it is difficult and dangerous - and not written with any poisonous intent to destroy the good fame of England. It seemed to me then and it seems to me now after reading Mr. Martin s book, in which he has given a careful and considered narrative of his observations and experiences, that here is evidence which cannot be disregarded by English people who have any honesty of mind and any love for the reputation of their country. Official denial, evasion, sup pression, and distortion of facts cannot stand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
