In this exciting episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on the editor of the newly released The Lost & Early Writings of James Connolly: 1889 - 1898, a groundbreaking work that fits wonderfully within our Sources and Methods series of episodes.  Dr. Conor McCabe has done an incredible job of piecing together part of the lost James Connolly writings, and showing Connolly's engagement and adherence with Marxism, applied within the Irish national context.  You won't want to miss this conversation! This book was published by Iskra Books, which means that in addition to the book being available as a beautiful print edition, the PDF is also available for free at iskrabooks.org.  Of course download the PDF, but do also consider picking up a physical copy to support Iskra in their project of publishing revolutionary works and making them as accessible and freely available as possible!

Conor McCabe is a historian, author, and scholar specializing in labor history, Irish socialism, and radical political movements. His extensive research has brought new insights into the intersections of class, colonialism, and economic power in Ireland. In addition to the Connolly book discussed today, he also has written Sins of the Father: Tracing the Decisions That Shaped the Irish Economy and has multiple projects ongoing.  Keep up to date with him on his website, and be sure to follow him on twitter @CMacCaba
