内容説明
Robert Emmet has for nearly 200 years, since his death on the scaffold in Thomas Street, Dublin on 20th September 1803, been "the darling of Erin", the archetypal young martyr for Irish freedom. Because of the romantic story of his fatal love for Sarah Curran, his reputation has never been able to shake from it the cloying image of a brave but foolhardy young man whose brief insurrection was vain and whose life was needlessly sacrificed for love. Yet as this compact biography shows, he was far from being a reckless dreamer. His preparations for his rising show him to be a meticulous planner, a master of security, an ingenious inventor of effective weapons for urban warfare and the deviser of a revolutionary plan that might well have succeeded but for an appalling sequence of sheer ill-luck.
