Book Description
The books in this series explore the lore, legends, music, and politics of Ireland. Their concise, pocket-sized format is well suited for aficionados as well as those who have a general interest in the topics. The portraits of 18 of the most infamous Irish rebels-men and women-who defied an unsympathetic establishment, endured imprisonment, experienced exile to Australia or the United States, or gave their lives in the fight for freedom are featured in this informative Irish history. Spanning the 16th through the 20th centuries, and including those as famous as Daniel O'Connell in the 1800s and Gerry Adams and the Sinn Fein party of the 21st century, this is the story of the most enduring Celtic rebellions and their renowned agitators. Often surprising glimpses into their historical and family backgrounds are also revealed.
