Fall of Feudalism in Ireland narrates the ways and means by which a revolution on the lines of passive resistance was accomplished. How men and women of Ireland, scattered all over the globe by eviction and evils of unsympathetic rule in Ireland were in the final struggle for the land and rule of the Celtic fatherland. It shows how the generosity of the Irish people at home and abroad raised one million pounds to fight the evils of landlordism, to subsidise the evicted families and uphold the cause of Irish self-determination.
