Book Description
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.

Book Description
In 1798, the Irish rose up against the corrupt English government run out of Dublin. Joined by both Protestants and Catholics, the rebellion quickly spread across the country. Although the Irish peasantry were armed mostly with pikes, they were able to overwhelm a number of small, isolated British outposts. However, even with the half-hearted assistance of the French, the Irish could not compete with the organized ranks of the British Army when under competent leadership. In a brutal turning of the tide, the Redcoats plowed through the rebels. In just three months, between 15,000 and 30,000 people died, most of them Irish. This book tells the story of this harsh, but fascinating, period of Irish history and covers the organization and uniforms of the forces involved.
