SynopsisThroughout its prolonged struggle for nationhood, Ireland consistently drew upon the physical and moral support of its sizeable diaspora -- especially those who, as a result of social, economic, political, and religious reasons, had settled in North America. Ireland recognizes such assistance in "The Soldier's Song", written by Peadar Kearney in 1907 and adopted as the country's national anthem in 1926. The song's chorus pays tribute to the steadfast support that Irish-Americans leant to the cause of Irish independence, noting:'Soldiers are wewhose lives are pledged to Ireland.Some have comefrom a land beyond the wave.' In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising in Dublin, this book -- 'From a land beyond the wave' -- honors the Irish of Connecticut who time and again offered their support to the drive for Irish independence. The book is written and published by the Connecticut Irish-American Historical Society.
