The American John Callaghan has inherited his Irish father's battle against the British Empire. When he is commissioned by the Clan na Gael to destroy mining magnate and Anglophile, Cecil John Rhodes he finds himself liking rather than hating his enemy. This dilemma propels him into a quest to free himself from his father's burden of hatred.
Paddy Cahill, an Irish workhouse boy, accompanies him on his quest which drives him across the African landscape into a war he does not want to fight, beside a man he intensely despises.
Sally Whitmore, the English niece of an Irish activist, becomes his conscience on his journey, and his shield against the devastating consequences of wanting to be free.
The Tumbleweed Wars is a story about courage and the power of friendship. Its characters are endearing because they are unashamedly human.
The Tumbleweed Wars plays out across Africa, the United States, and Britain between 1894 and 1904. The story is based on actual events.
