Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ireland in Rebellion: Translated From the French
The resistance to conscription The General Election of 1918 - Dail Eireann. The hand-picked Convention at which Lloyd George pretended - without any sincere intention - to seek a solution of the Irish problem, did nothing to check the advance of Sinn Fein. On the contrary, by its abortive issue, it gave it a further stimulus, as the Sinn Fein Party, with intelligent caution, refused to take part in it. From that time almost every by-election was a victory for Sinn Fein; Count Plunkett, the father of a young man who was shot in Easter week, De Valera, who was condemned to death at the same time, and whose sentence was commuted to penal servitude, headed the polls by overwhelming majorities. It was evident that the ill-feeling against England was gaining ground every day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
