Vivid Faces: The Revolutionary Generation in Ireland, 1890-1923

R.F. Foster

Vivid Faces is a history of the thinking of the revolutionary generation in this country between the fall of Parnell and the end of the Civil War.

Much of the material has been published elsewhere, but the book itself is a valuable collection of a broad range of views of participants that publishers dared not mention for decades. It dissects the propaganda to provide an insightful look at the real contemporary thinking.
