Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 374p; plates endpaoper maps.The Radical War, also known as the Scottish Insurrection of 1820, was a week of strikes and unrest in Scotland, a culmination of Radical demands for reform in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland which had become prominent in the early years of the French Revolution, but had then been repressed during the long Napoleonic Wars. "An economic downturn after the wars ended brought increasing unrest, but the root cause was the Industrial Revolution. Artisan workers, particularly weavers in Scotland, sought action to force the government to enact Luddite protective restrictions. Gentry fearing revolutionary horrors recruited militia and the government deployed an apparatus of spies, informers and agents provocateurs to stamp out the movement.". The book is near fine, tight, cleamn and probably unread but has no d/w. See Scans. N° de réf. du vendeur 013264

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Softcover, in green covers, stamped 'Proof' with Gollancz yellow jacket over covers. A note in red biro on front of classic Gollancz yellow jacket reads 'May 19th Uncorrected proof'. So first edition, first impression before publication and may have belonged to one of the authors. Some edge wear, chipping and a couple of short closed tears to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly bent, dome yellowing to page block, spine and extremities slightly browned, some overall time and fingerprint staining. Not price clipped (63/-, £3.15 Appx), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 356pp, map endpapers. Glasgow, April 1820. The last armed uprising on British soil, intent on severing the Union and establishing a radical Scottish republic, ended in executions, imprisonments, transportations and 85 trials for high treason. Yet despite its political and social importance, the story of this working class revolution vanished from the historical record. This book restores the radical rising to its rightful place in history, offering an incisive analysis of the rising itself and the events which led up to it, vividly recapturing the extraordinary heroism of its leaders, John Baird and Andrew Hardie, and the savagery with which the movement was crushed by the forces of the British state. Seumas Mac a'Ghobhainn (1930-87), strove for an independent Scottish nation and sought the full restoration of the Gaelic language in Scottish life. Historian, biographer and novelist Peter Berresford Ellis read the eulogy at his memorial service. N° de réf. du vendeur 008783
