The year of liberty : the great Irish rebellion of 1798

Pakenham, Thomas, 1933-1997
Books
The author shows that the rebellion of 1798 was the tragic result of Pitt's lack of any policy for Ireland, and unrealistic expectations on the Irish peasantry's side. It has left a legacy of hatred and violence that has persisted into the 20th century.
