This classic account of the great Irish rebellion of 1798 remains the only full-scale history of that tragic event. As relevant today as it was when first published in 1969, THE YEAR OF LIBERTY is now reissued with the addition of a chronology and a glossary of terms. In May 1798 a hundred thousand peasants rose against the British government in Ireland. By the time the revolt had been put down four months later, thirty thousand dead were literally rotting in heaps in a smoking and desolate countryside. Yet it was not a schoolroom story of the heroic oppressed rising against the brutal oppressor, but the result of a complex, tragic, often absurd and sometimes heroic interplay between different groups of people. A tough and arrogant oligarchy of country gentlemen, mainly Protestant and mainly British in origin, lived off a Catholic peasantry. Meanwhile, idealistic merchants and hot-headed young lawyers dreamed and plotted for an Irish Republic on the French model. From a mass of sources including confidential government reports, contemporary newspapers, poems, broadsheets and letters, the author pieces together a story at once complex, tragic, absurd and heroic.

"The Irish Rebellion of 1798 (Irish: Éirí Amach 1798), also known as the United Irishmen Rebellion (Irish: Éirí Amach na nÉireannach Aontaithe), was an uprising against British rule in Ireland lasting from May to September 1798. The United Irishmen, a republican revolutionary group influenced by the ideas of the American and French revolutions, were the main organising force behind the rebellion."--Wikipedia.

Excerpt from The Story of the Liberty Bell "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof," is the legend moulded around the Liberty Bell. This inscription is from the twenty-fifth chapter of Leviticus, as part of the directions given by Jehovah for the celebration of the year of jubilee, and the very next words to it in the Bible are: "It shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession." For Liberty is the "possession" of every man, woman and child. The Story of the Liberty Dell is the story of Liberty. It is a history of thrills and throbs and tears. If the ancient Hebrew slaves had not made that immortal dash for liberty when the Egyptians pursuing them were drowned in the Red Sea, there never would have been that tumult in the city, In the quaint old Quaker town, when the Liberty Bell rang in the "year of jubilee," and rang out the glad tidings of freedom "throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." When ancient people conquered their enemies they made captives and slaves of them. They had very little idea of personal rights and still less of religions liberty. They seemed to think that those who did not believe as they did ought to be put to death if they were strong enough to kill them-unless they cared to make slaves of them or hold them for ransom. The ancients understood the right of Might, but they knew nothing of the might of Right. Though the human race is counted to be six thousand years old, Liberty, as we know it, is but little more than one hundred years old.
