A Full Life: James Connolly the Irish Rebel

Executed by a British firing squad on 12th May 1916 for his role in organizing the Easter Rising, James Connolly was one of the most prominent radical organizers and agitators of his day. As a labour organiser, Connolly stressed the importance of direct action, broad working-class unity, and a commitment to ending labor''s exploitation. As a socialist agitator, Connolly saw economic and political independence as inextricably intertwined. This pamphlet, the first graphic treatment of Connolly''s life, is issued on the centenary of the Easter Rising.
