In a fast-paced narrative, Terry Golway tells a thousand years of Irish history, describing the achievements of the patriots who kept alive the dream of Irish freedom until they finally succeeded. Among the stories--some famous, some little-known--are those of Wolfe Tone, a leader of the 1798 rebellion who cut his own throat rather than submit to a hangman; Kevin Barry, executed at age eighteen rather than turn informer on the eve of independence in 1921; Bobby Sands, an IRA militant who died on a hunger strike in 1981, calling international attention to the conflict in Northern Ireland; and several remarkable women who played pivotal roles. Golway also reveals that the struggle for Irish freedom was not a strictly religious dispute; in fact, many of the greatest heroes of the nationalist movement were Protestants.--From publisher description. 000717892 650_0 $$aNationalism$$zIreland$$xHistory. 000717892 650_0 $$aRevolutionaries$$zIreland$$vBiography. 000717892 650_0 $$aNationalists$$zIreland$$vBiography. 000717892 650_0 $$aHeroes$$zIreland$$vBiography. 000717892 651_0 $$aIreland$$xHistory. 000717892 85200 $$bgen$$hDA911$$i.G57$$i2000 000717892 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:717892$$pGLOBAL_SET 000717892 980__ $$aBIB 000717892 980__ $$aBOOK
