The Rebellion of 1798 was the culmination of many factors, national and international, in which thousands of men and women chose armed force as their only option. The reasons and simulations leading to that choice were complex. This collection of essays offers a fresh look and interpretation at those factors and the Rebellion itself in Wexford, where ordinary people, goaded to ferocity, 'swept o'er the land like a mighty wave'.
