James Connolly was a prolific writer of books, tracts, articles and essays, and conducted a voluminous correspondence with ideological friends and foes of every persuasion. This selection of just over 100 previously uncollected articles and essays is arranged into six sections, corresponding to the journals in which they originally appeared: "The Workers Republic"; "The Socialist"; "The Harp"; "The Irish Worker"; "The Worker"; and "The Workers Republic" (1915-1916). Each section is prefaced with a brief historical context, and explanatory footnotes are included throughout. The introduction provides a biographical sketch of the man and his times and an account of the tangled history of the posthumous publication of Connolly's work - providing a mirror of developments in the Irish labour movement since Connolly's death.

(write review)James Connolly the practician
"This edition is very important for the people of Ireland. James Connolly was the greatest Marxist of Ireland and one of the few in the Europe of his times who tried to apply Marx teachings. His perception for the ending of Irelands suffering was the only realistic and viable and though it has not been implemented yet his views as part of the Marxist-Leninist worldview still remains the only solution to Irelands question. Cause where his contemporaries saw green and orange he saw oppressed and oppressors and their unity as the only capable of force for progress which was partly justifies during the the Belfast 1907, 1919, 1921 and 1932 strikes. The CPI remains the true inheritor of its legacy. This book is very important in order to understand the perception of James Connolly. Cause only through his writings can Irelands cause be understood as it was shaped by his analysis on the historical social, political and economical status of Ireland."
