CHH814 Understanding 1798
£74.00
| The events of 1798 are obscured by layers of myth and selective memory. Who were the United Irishmen? What sort of Ireland did they hope to create? And what motivated the equally committed opponents who took up arms to defeat their revolution? There is always going to be more than side to the story of this dramatic year. But by looking closely at events, and by listening, through surviving documents, to the voices of those who lived through them, we can try to understand more clearly the meaning of this formative event in the history of modern Ireland.
