In 1798 three separate rebellions. inspired by the ideals of the American Revolution and French revolution swept across Ireland and nearly succeeded in securing Irish independence. Rebellion! tells the stories of the people, the politics, and the battles. It also contains an official diary, of events planned this year in Ireland to mark the 1798 Bicentenary.
It took me a while to go through this one, I only stuck with it because it was so small, but after finishing it, I don't think I learnt anything about the 1798 Rebellion. It just felt like a list of dates, names and battles. It could have benefited from explaining a bit more than with one line about who the characters were. I guess now I know how people who didn't have a good history teacher must have felt during the classes.
