L'Attaque by Eoghan Tuairisc
L'Attaque recounts the part played by a small group of United Irishmen from County Leitrim in the military revolt which was sparked by the landing of French General Humbert in Killala, County Mayo, in 1798. The novel brilliantly charts the effect of revolutionary fighting on peasant life and the conflicting ideals of the comrades-at-arms.
Eoghan Ó'Tuairisc was born in Ballinasloe, County Galway in 1919. He was a renowned poet, novelist and playwright in Irish and English and a linguistic innovator, influenced by wide reading in several European languages. The Road to Bright City, a collection of translations of the stories of Mártín Ó'Cadhain, was his last published work. He died in 1982.
