Focusing on Robert Emmet's pivotal role in Irish history, this contextualized biography explores his transformation into a national hero following the 1803 Rising, the first armed attempt by the United Irishmen to challenge British rule. It delves into the significance of the earlier 1798 Great Rebellion in shaping Emmet's strategies and actions. The author incorporates new research to clarify the connections between these events and highlights Emmet's interactions with key figures, including Napoleon, during critical years leading up to the uprising.
