History buffs will thoroughly enjoy reading Donal Levin’s, James Connolly – A Full Life, a captivating biography of one of the founders of the Irish Republican Socialist Party. It takes readers through a historic period in Irish history set amidst tumultuous times, which later helped the Republic of Ireland to gain its freedom.
One of the most significant chapters in Irish history was the Easter Uprising that galvanized the Irish people to overthrow the yoke of the British and finally gain independent status as the Republic of Ireland. It details his life as the son of an Irish immigrant family having been born and spent his formative years in Edinburgh. Later he moved to Ireland and served in the King’s Liverpool Regiment.
The time he spent in America (1903-1910) had a profound impact on his political views and aspirations for the people of Ireland. From the time he was appointed as organiser of the Socialist Party to becoming Vice-President of the Provisional Government of the Irish Republic, and finally helping to organise the infamous Easter Rising in 1916, it is an engaging narrative of one of the most iconic figures in Irish political history.
As the last of the Irish revolutionaries to be executed by the British, his place in Ireland’s history was immortalised for posterity. The biography showcases the many talents of this multifaceted political entity. The content is based mainly upon the prodigious writings of Connolly and is without a doubt the finest of the many books written about James Connolly.
