Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Covering Davitt's career in detail, this study explores his break-away from orthodox revolutionary nationalism to the concept of the nation as a 'caring' society rooted in social democracy; his vision of the land war as part of the common struggle of humanity for social justice; his belief in land nationalization as the only real solution of the land question; his participation in the rising labor movement in Britain; his complete freedom from sectarianiam, his modesty, his moral courage, and his compassion.
