James Connolly (1868-1916) was the foremost Irish socialist republican of his time. He was the leader of the Irish Citizen Army (ICA), founder and leader of the Irish Socialist Republican Party and Commandant of the Dublin Brigade during the 1916 Easter Rising, in which he was executed for his role alongside six other signatories of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic. His writings focused on a synthesis of revolutionary socialism with Irish nationalism as well as a class-based analysis of Irish history.
