What drives a man to become a rebel? This is a true story about a protestant man of English descent who ends up becoming The Commander in Chief of The United Irishmen in 1798. The rebellion of 1798 was one of the largest rebellions ever in Irish history when Irishmen and women fought to gain independence from England. It is estimated that over 30,000 people (on both sides) lost their lives in the rebellion that only lasted about 6 months. The rebellion was carried out by The United Irishmen which were the forerunners to other Irish organisations that followed, for a period of over 100 years, in the pursuit of independence from English rule. Independence was achieved for 26 of the 32 counties of Ireland in 1921. This story is based on the memoirs of Joseph Holt (General Holt). He tells the story mostly in his own words how he ended up rebelling against the establishment that he used to be a part of. To some he was a hero, to others he was a traitor. You the reader can decide for yourself!
