This volume documents the evolution and impact of one of the most enduring sources and symbols of sectarian conflict in Ireland - Protestant millennialism. Its chapters chart the development of Irish evangelicalism from the 1798 rebellion to the end of the 'troubles', paying particular attention to its apocalyptic commitments. The volume explores new sources and offers new conclusions, setting a new research agenda and emphasizing the vitality of religious discourse in Irish studies.

This book offers the first complete overview of the intellectual history of one of the most significant contemporary cultural trends -- the apocalyptic expectations of European and American evangelicals -- in an account that guides readers into the origins, its evolution, and its revolutionary potential in the modern world.

"Under the Williamsburg Bridge" is the true story of a man who was one of the founding members of the American Mafia and his two sons. His mobster son worked with the likes of Lucky Luciano, Dutch Schultz, and Bugsy Siegel, and was a decorated war hero; his other son opted to forsake the family business for a career in criminal law.

From the early days of the Mafia, to the jungles of Burma with Merrill's Marauders during World War II, to the strange world of America's Asian criminal underworld, Under the Williamsburg Bridge tells the story of three generations of a unique American family.
