About this ebook
A gripping tale of Ireland's tumultuous struggle for independence, seen through the eyes of a young man caught in the midst of The Troubles.
In 1972: A Novel of Ireland's Unfinished Revolution, the fourth installment of Morgan Llywelyn's epic Irish Century series, young Barry Halloran grapples with his family's revolutionary past and the escalating violence in Northern Ireland. At eighteen, Barry joins the Irish Republican Army, hoping to complete what he sees as "the unfinished revolution."
But the stark reality of the conflict shakes his convictions. Seeking a different path, Barry becomes a photographer, documenting the turmoil in the north. His personal life is equally turbulent, from a failed early love to a passionate relationship with American singer Barbara Kavanagh.
As Barry's life takes unexpected turns, his commitment to the dream of a united Irish republic never wavers, even as he finds himself at the heart of the most horrific event of The Troubles: Bloody Sunday in Derry, 1972.
Llywelyn's masterful storytelling brings to life a pivotal era in Irish history, exploring the human cost of Ireland's complex struggle for self-determination.
