Rebel Prods: The Forgotten Story of Protestant Radical Nationalists and the 1916 Rising
The story of the 1916 Easter Rising is often told through a familiar cast of Irish republican leaders and revolutionaries. Yet hidden within that history is a remarkable group whose contribution has largely been forgotten: Protestant radical nationalists who challenged political, religious, and social expectations to support the cause of Irish freedom.
Rebel Prods uncovers the lives, beliefs, and actions of these overlooked figures, exploring how men and women from Protestant backgrounds became involved in revolutionary politics and played significant roles in the struggle for Irish independence. Drawing on historical research, personal stories, and political context, the book challenges simplistic narratives about identity, loyalty, and nationalism in early twentieth-century Ireland.
A fascinating and thought-provoking examination of a neglected chapter in Irish history, Rebel Prods offers a fresh perspective on the Easter Rising and the diverse people who helped shape modern Ireland.
Perfect for readers interested in Irish history, the Easter Rising, political history, and the complex relationship between religion and nationalism in Ireland.
