The Irish Kennedys The Story of the Rebellious O' Kennedy's PRICE: IRP£ 10.95 pbk PUBLISHER: Gaeltachta Publications

The Irish Kennedy held their ancestral lands in Tipperary for hundereds of years while a succession of English conquerers tried to take it from them. Although they eventually succeeded in taking the lands, the English did not do so without fierce resistance from the family they dubbed "The Rebellious O' Kennedy's". This book brings to light the determination and persistence of this remarkable family and explores their territory, their forts and castles and their way of life as these were interwoven with the large canvas of Irish history.
