520    "In October 1641 a rebellion broke out in Ireland. 
       Dispossessed Irish Catholics rose up against British 
       Protestant settlers whom they held responsible for their 
       plight. This uprising, the first significant sectarian 
       rebellion in Irish history, gave rise to a decade of war 
       that would culminate in the brutal re-conquest of Ireland 
       by Oliver Cromwell. It also set in motion one of the most 
       enduring and acrimonious debates in Irish history.  Was 
       the 1641 rebellion a justified response to dispossession 
       and repression? Or was it an unprovoked attempt at 
       sectarian genocide? John Gibney comprehensively examines 
       three centuries of this debate. The struggle to establish 
       and interpret the facts of the past was also a struggle 
       over the present: if Protestants had been slaughtered by 
       vicious Catholics, this provided an ideal justification 
       for maintaining Protestant privilege. If, on the other 
       hand, Protestant propaganda had inflated a few deaths into
       a vast and brutal "massacre," this justification was 
       groundless. Gibney shows how politicians, historians, and 
       polemicists have represented (and misrepresented) 1641 
       over the centuries, making a sectarian understanding of 
       Irish history the dominant paradigm in the consciousness 
       of the Irish Protestant and Catholic communities alike."--
