"Sean McLoughlin, with many others in the Irish revolutionary movement, fought for an Ireland very different from the impoverished capitalist 'neo-colony' it would become after 1922. He was only 21 when he took up the responsibilities of Commandant-General of the army of the Irish Republic in the midst of the Easter Rising. Perhaps because of his youth he escaped execution by British forces. He looked to the labour movement to provide leadership in the struggle for Irish independence. He went on to join the fledging Irish COmmunist Party, seeking a social as well as a political revolution." --P [4] of cover.
