Revolutionary, unionist and socialist James Connolly is best known for his part in organizing the bloody Easter Rising of 1916. Yet the Rising was just one defining event in a career devoted to peaceful activism for Irish independence, social justice for the working class, and the rights of women. This biography traces the political life of an unassuming advocate for nonviolent social change at the ballot box, who later helped lead a violent insurrection to establish an Irish Republic and was executed by a British firing squad.
The late Seán Cronin was the first Irish Times Washington correspondent and a veteran Irish republican. In addition to his journalism he was the author of a significant body of work on Irish history including a definitive work on Irish Nationalism, a biography of republican Frank Ryan, and a number of works on guerrilla strategy. He also taught courses in international relations in New York and Maryland.
