Ireland: A Television History

on BBC Two England

A series of 13 programmes, written and presented by Robert Kee 5:Fenians
A secret organisation, later to be known as the Irish Republican Brotherhood, planned rebellion in the 1860s. Money and support came from Irish immigrants in America. But the Fenian rebellion of 1867, a series of uncoordinated and spasmodic uprisings, ended in total failure. Yet the story of the Fenians was to capture the imagination of future generations and inspire the nationalists of the 20th century. The Fenian tradition lives on in today's IRA.
