Book
The Rebels of Ireland
The second Dublin volume begins with Tudor plantation and follows Irish families divided by religion, landholding and allegiance under English rule. Its linked narratives encompass the Flight of the Earls, Cromwellian conquest, the Battle of the Boyne, the 1798 rebellion, Catholic emancipation, the Great Famine and the rise of constitutional and revolutionary nationalism. Across four centuries, domestic ambitions and inherited grievances reveal how political conflict reshapes Dublin and the wider island.
