The Green Cockade : A Tale of Ulster in 1798 - Margaret Pender

The Green Cockade is a scintillating historical novel about the United Irishmen and the 1798 rebellion. William Putnam McCabe fights for Irish freedom amidst a world of spies, traitors, nefarious jailers and the English aristocracy. McCabe finds comradeship under the heathered Belfast mountains, but is forced to go on the run. Pender's writing flies at breakneck speed as it evokes the subterfuge and blood-soaked reality of an epic era.
