I usually focus on the 20th century revolutionary era (circa 1912-24) but in a couple of weeks my Labour history group (based in England) will be discussing the 1798 Irish rebellion. Can anyone recommend any decent books I could read in preparation?

I’ve always thought the line ”I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
the love I bear for these brave men,my love for this dear land”,in the song Grace,a bit sexist. How about ”I know it's hard for you my love,but I know you understand” #irishhistory#irishrebelsongs
