Half the globe's our home -- bk. 4. America's century.In a sprawling chronicle of civilization through Irish eyes, Akenson takes us from St Patrick to Woodie Guthrie, from Constantine to John F. Kennedy, from India to the Australian outback. In two volumes of masterful storytelling he creates ironic, playful, and acerbic historical miniatures - a quixotic series of reconstructions woven into a helix in which the same historical figures reappear in radically different contexts as their narratives intersect with the larger picture.America's centuryIrishHistoryIrelandEmigration and immigrationIrelandHistoryIrishHistory.941.5Akenson Donald H482657MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814122403321Half the globe's our home ; America's century4076771UNINA
