By all and any standards, this is a most impressive work. Following the atlas of the Irish Famine, this is highly significant as an account of the Revolution itself and as a work of cartographic history. It is tremendously helpful and stimulating for academics, and accessible for students and others. In a historiographical field marred, and sometimes characterized, by sectarianism and mythmaking, it is rewarding to see this work produced as a collection by over 100 scholars. The 364 maps, all original, range widely in order to provide a range of spatial perspectives, from the national to the street level. That is very impressive and offers work of great originality. The large number of images – over 700 illustrations – is also highly instructive. Furthermore, in terms of value for money, this is excellent, indeed outstanding.
