""Cullen has delved into archives, newspapers and various other sources to tell the fascinating story of the relationship between these two political cultures over the last century. An essential work, well-documented and, at the same time, attractive to a wide audience."" Santiago de Pablo, University of the Basque Country ""A thoughtful, comparative history of a major subject. A fascinating and valuable book."" Richard English, Queen’s University Belfast ""This is an excellent and enlightening book and a real advance in our understanding of this topic. The text is enlivened by interviews with many of the participants, on both the Irish and the Basque side. It is warmly recommended to anyone with an interest in the Basque Country, Irish republicanism and the links between the two."" John Dorney, The Irish Story ""A fascinating account of the historical context of the rather complex relations between the two nationalist movements and their militant spearheads."" Andreas Hess, Studies on National Movements 13(1), 214–222 (2024) ""A timely piece of work, scrupulous in endorsing only facts and analyses for which the author can find first-hand evidence."" Paddy Woodworth, The Irish Times ""An obligatory reference point for those most interested in the specific subject it deals with, and a valuable contribution to the broader field of the study of nations and nationalisms.""
