{"product_id":"armies-of-the-irish-rebellion-1798","title":"Armies of the Irish Rebellion 1798","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exploration of a legendary moment in Irish history. In 1798 with the British Army preoccupied in fighting France in the Caribbean and Mediterranean as well as guarding Southeast England from threatened invasion, a co-ordinated uprising broke out across the water in Ireland. Uniquely, this was neither a Catholic nor a Protestant rebellion, but rather a joint effort by leaders and insurgents from both sides of the community. The Irish Rebellion (1798) was directed against the corrupt government based at Dublin Castle and was inspired in part by the people's revolutions in America and France. This title illuminates the lives of the Irish peasants, armed mostly with pikes, who confronted the small number of British troops based in their country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10 x 7 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eby Stuart Reid (Author) , Gerry Embleton (Illustrator) , Sam Embleton (Illustrator)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOffered on the occasion of the exhibition \u003cem\u003eIrish Literature: History \u0026amp;amp; Myth Since 1798\u003c\/em\u003e, an exhibition of treasures from the Leonard L.
