About This Book

A chronological political and military history of Ireland during the 1640s and 1650s that follows the 1641 uprising as it spreads through Munster, Connacht, Ulster, and Leinster, and traces the creation and organization of the Catholic Confederate government at Kilkenny. It examines provincial campaigns, sieges, and pitched battles under regional commanders, the oscillation between armed struggle and negotiated cessations, the participation of Scottish and English forces, diplomatic efforts and appeals for foreign aid, and the internal rivalries and administrative decisions that shaped the conflict’s unfolding.
