Excerpt from The King, the Kaiser, and Irish Freedom James K. Mcguire is peculiarly fitted and especially endowed to write a book friendly to Germany. The first education he received in Syracuse was in a Ger man school and his next schooling took place in the German school then in the basement of the Lutheran church in Butternut Street, Syracuse, New York. It is thirteen years since Mr. Mcguire left Syracuse. During the thirty years he lived in our midst, no man occupied a warmer place in the hearts and affections of the German people. Long time Mayor of Syra cuse, he always held the support of the German peo ple, irrespective of party ties. It is perfectly natural for him to defend German ideals and causes, for he is a student and writer on German history, philosophy and poetry, as well as a firm friend and son of Ire land with an international reputation.

Originally published in 1915, this is a pro-German and pro-German-American book by an Irish-American nationalist holding to the premise that The enemy of my enemy is my friend. He advocates supporting the Germans in WWI against the common enemy of Ireland and Germany - England. The preface states this book is made necessary by violations of neutrality on the part of certain Anglo-American newspapers, by the misrepresentation of the true spirit of Irish nationality at home and abroad, and by the vilification of Germany.James K. McGuire was educated in German schools in Syracuse, New York, and was long time Mayor of Syracuse.

There is a widely held notion that, except for the elections of 1928 and 1960, the Irish have primarily influenced only state and local government. The Irish and the American Presidency reveals that the Irish have had a consistent and noteworthy impact on presidential careers, policies, and elections throughout American history. Using US party systems as an organizational framework, this book examines the various ways that Scots-Irish and Catholic Irish Americans, as well as the Irish who remained in eire, have shaped, altered, and sometimes driven such presidential political factors as party nominations, campaign strategies, elections, and White House policymaking.The Irish seem to be inextricably interwoven into important moments of presidential political history. Yanoso discusses the Scots-Irish participation in the American Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, and the War of 1812. She describes President Bill Clinton's successful Good Friday Agreement that brought peace and hope to Northern Ireland. And finally, she assesses the now-common presidential visits to Ireland as a strategy for garnering Irish-American support back home.No previous work has explored the impact of Irish and Irish-American affairs on US presidential politics throughout the entire scope of American history. Readers interested in presidential politics, American history, and/or Irish/Irish-American history are certain to find The Irish and the American Presidency enjoyable, informative, and impactful.

James K. McGuire is often overlooked as a key figure of Irish nationalist politics, yet the issue defined his life for over three decades. As the title implies, he had multiple careers, each overlapping the others.
