Doheny was one of the Young Ireland leaders who broke with O’Connell’s Repeal Association and joined the attempted rising of 1848. Here he narrates the movement from 1843, the arguments, the arrests and the collapse, then his own weeks as a hunted man in the hills of Munster before escaping to America. This edition adds D’Arcy McGee’s narrative of 1848.
