For almost forty years, Fr. Sean McManus has been at the heart of the Irish-American campaign against injustice in Northern Ireland. He founded the Irish National Caucus, the driving force that would diminish Britain's influence with the U.S. government. He successfully lobbied for Congressional action to stop the sale of U.S. weapons to the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and made the MacBride Principles on fair employment a reality. McManus chronicles the events and social context that influenced him, growing up in a parish divided by the Border, and in an Irish Catholic family. He gives thoughtful insights into seminary life in the 1960s, and how his faith, theology, and philosophy of non-violence developed. This is his account of how he mainstreamed Northern Ireland on Capitol Hill. ""The man who has been helping to craft the agenda for Irish America over the past 30 years has written a compelling inside view of the pursuit of peace and justice for Ireland.""-Irish Voice

Sean McManus is a brother of Frank McManus, former MP, and Patrick McManus, an IRA member killed in 1958. In 1971, a Redemptorist priest based in Scotland, he 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.
