From regicides to revolutionaries; from fascists to anarchists;
from Tom Paine to Tom Wintringham, this book is a history of noble
ideals and crushing failures in which Clive Bloom takes us on a
journey through British history, exploring our often rocky
relationship with the ruling elite. Restless Revolutionaries
reveals our surprising legacy of terrorism and revolution,
reminding us that Britain has witnessed centuries of revolt. This
is a history encompassing three bloody civil wars in Ireland, the
bombing campaigns by the IRA, two Welsh uprisings, one Lowland
Scottish civil war, uprisings in Derbyshire and Kent, five attempts
to assassinate the entire cabinet and seize London, and numerous
attempts to murder the royal family. Restless Revolutionaries
provides a fascinating testament to the fact that from the 1790s to
the present day over 23,000 British subjects have fought and died
for the ideal of a fair republic.
