Great minds think alike Bill, The Ragged Trousered Philathropists is one of my Bibles (non religious sense) I'd recomend it over and above all other works, including Marx Capital. C.Desomond Greaves book is very good, read it a few times, but I think it has perhaps been superceded by Donal Nevins, James Connolly a Full Life.
