Leon Ó Broin (10 November 1902 - 26 February 1990) was an Irish Civil Servant, writer and playwright, who wrote many plays, stories and historical works in both English and Irish. He was born in Dublin. He joined Sinn Féin and Fianna Éireann while still at school. He was imprisoned in 1921 and 1922 and afterwards joined the Free State army as a non-combatant. In 1924 he was the first Administrative Officer appointed by the new Free State civil service, where he worked mainly in the Department of Finance. He was Secretary of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs from 1948 to 1967. Together with Frank Duff he formed the Pillar of Fire Society in 1942, for Catholic-Jewish dialogue, after rumors about the killing of Jews in Europe starting coming through to Ireland. He presented a paper at the first meeting, helped by a Jewish colleague and friend, Laurence Elyan. Protestant Irish nationalists are adherents of Protestantism in Ireland who also support Irish nationalism. Protestants have played a rather large role in the development of Irish nationalism since the eighteenth century, despite most Irish nationalists historically being from the Irish Catholic majority, as well as most Irish Protestants usually tending toward unionism in Ireland. Protestant nationalists have consistently been influential supporters and leaders of various movements for the political independence of Ireland from Great Britain. Alice Stopford Green (30 May 1847 - 28 May 1929) was an Irish historian and nationalist. Stopford Green was active in efforts to make the prospect of Home Rule more palatable to Ulster Unionists. She was closely involved in the Howth gun-running. Dorothy Stopford's first job was tending to injured members of the Irish Republican Army. During the ensuing Irish Civil War, Dorothy joined the IRA's Auxiliary. First U.S. Edition, presumed first printing. Seller Inventory # 76515
