In October 1641 a rebellion broke out in Ireland. Dispossessed Irish Catholics rose up against British Protestant settlers whom they held responsible for their plight. Was the 1641 rebellion a justified response to dispossession and repression? Or was it an unprovoked attempt at sectarian genocide? John Gibney comprehensively examines three centuries of this debate. Gibney shows how politicians, historians, and polemicists have represented 1641 over the centuries, making a sectarian understanding of Irish history the dominant paradigm.
