Description
A Nation and Not a Rabble: The Irish Revolution 1913-23 by Diarmaid Ferriter
This new look at Ireland's revolutionary period from 1913 to 1923 draws on newly available historical sources and the testimonies of those who lived through it. The years leading up to independence were marked by intense conflict, social upheaval, and political drama.
Ferriter explores the complexities of this period, examining the gulf between rhetoric and reality in politics and violence, the role of women, and the impact of key leaders on the struggle for material survival and the battle over issues such as health, land, religion, law and order, and welfare.
