Product Description
A paperback edition, Gill, 1981, Ruth Dudley Edwards on the labour organiser, socialist and revolutionary James Connolly, (1868-1916) who was a noted global figure in trade union rights in the first years of the century, was born in Edinburgh, moved to Dublin in 1896, and led the Irish Citizen Army in the 1916 Rising, after which he was executed.
Dudley Edwards examines the radical nature of Connolly's thinking, his anti sectarianism, and his socialist origins, as much as his Nationalist credentials.
