The extent of the Irish immigration phenomenon, its Catholic and anti-Reformist features, the famine generations (due to potato blight), the insurrections and illnesses, the changes in lifestyles, trade unionism and the supremacy of the public administration, the ascent of Irish-Americans (from Woodrow Wilson to John F. Kennedy): this very American story has been reconstructed by Kevin Kenny, author of the book and Professor of History at Boston College.

L'immigrazione irlandese in America fu una vicenda di proporzioni uniche, avviatasi due secoli fa quando l'Irlanda era diventata una nazione di "emigranti" che riforniva la più famosa nazione di "immigranti" di tutto il mondo. Ben quindici dei quarantatré presidenti degli Stati Uniti sono stati irlandesi (Kennedy il primo cattolico). Nel 1850, un quarto dei residenti di New York e di Boston erano irlandesi; nel censimento del 1990, quarantaquattro milioni di statunitensi si sono dichiarati irlandesi. Gli 3americani non avevano mai visto degli europei poveri e disperati come gli irlandesi cattolici post carestia che vivevano in quartieri di baracche alle periferie delle grandi città, come il celebre Five Points, con le sue bettole e le lotte fra gang di irlandesi e "nativisti", quei discendenti dei nordeuropei che, in quanto primi arrivati, si ritenevano i "veri" americani.
