"The Irish Rebellion of 1798 (Irish: Éirí Amach 1798), also known as the United Irishmen Rebellion (Irish: Éirí Amach na nÉireannach Aontaithe), was an uprising against British rule in Ireland lasting from May to September 1798. The United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, were the main organising force behind the rebellion."--Wikipedia.

This classic account of the great Irish rebellion of 1798 remains the only full-scale history of that tragic event. As relevant today as it was when first published in 1969, THE YEAR OF LIBERTY is now reissued with the addition of a chronology and a glossary of terms. In May 1798 a hundred thousand peasants rose against the British government in Ireland. By the time the revolt had been put down four months later, thirty thousand dead were literally rotting in heaps in a smoking and desolate countryside. Yet it was not a schoolroom story of the heroic oppressed rising against the brutal oppressor, but the result of a complex, tragic, often absurd and sometimes heroic interplay between different groups of people. A tough and arrogant oligarchy of country gentlemen, mainly Protestant and mainly British in origin, lived off a Catholic peasantry. Meanwhile, idealistic merchants and hot-headed young lawyers dreamed and plotted for an Irish Republic on the French model. From a mass of sources including confidential government reports, contemporary newspapers, poems, broadsheets and letters, the author pieces together a story at once complex, tragic, absurd and heroic.

Swept along by the rising tide of liberty that brought revolution to America and France in the late eighteenth century, the 1798 Rebellion in Ireland gave birth to the idea of a new nation free of English rule. The 1790's saw the emergence of the United Irishmen, the abortive French landing of 1796 on the Irish coast, and the brutal government repression that followed. The 1798 Rebellion itself lay at the heart of the stary. It included revolts in Leinster and east Ulster, and a small French landing in Connacht that was too little, too late. Deep-rooted divisions in Irish society would feed the bloody struggle and reappear even more prominently than before. IN the end 20,000 people perished in Ireland's first attempt at independence. In 1798 Rebellion tells the heroic and tragic story of theis fateful year in Irish history. On the two-hundredth anniversary of the rising, the authors reexamine these tumultuous events in the context of their times and in light of things to come.
