Republicans and Revolutionaries


Further talks reveal a hidden history of the Irish revolution with a Bristol connection; the development of autonomous working-class education; and two new radical histories of the Spanish Civil War, the first investigating the role of Irish Republicans in the international brigades and the second based on oral histories of women who fought in the conflict.
