Barack Obama: The Road from Moneygall - Softcover

What makes the book so fascinating is not just the way it brings Obama s Irish ancestors to life. This is not just the story of one family, it s the story of how America was made, starting before the American Revolution and following the creation of the country by the pioneers who moved out from the east into the frontier to settle the land. It s a story of hardship, courage and great adventure. --Irish Independent

Superb... riveting reconstruction of Barack Obama's Offaly ancestors... a brilliant book. --Sunday Independent

The first full account of the US president s links with Ireland, dating back to wigmakers from Co Offaly, is also a thought-provoking study of what it means to be Irish, and how the Irish story goes beyond any simplistic identification with a single religion. --The Irish Times

A unique exploration of the president Barack Obama's Irish ancestral origins.
